Here are her speech therapy evaluation results. I found them interesting.

Receptive Language: 15-18 months
Expressive Language: 7-10 months

Summary: The Nonspeech test was used because this was a test developed to measure language abilities in children who are nonverbal due to motor difficulties. The testing was done over a period of time so Whitney could be observed during different activities. She has been diagnosed with motor incoordination and low muscle tone. These have severely impacted Whitney's ability to develop typical communication skills. Whitney has developed eye gazing, differential cries and body postures to communicate with her family. Whitney was not able to imitate facial expressions or sounds, but was able to eye gaze and/or lean toward a desired object. A brief oral motor screen revealed low tone to the cheeks and tongue with limited movement of the tongue.

Recommendations: Speech therapy 1x per week to establish a communication system and for sensory oral motor activities.
