think that that's really key because a lot of the behaviors that you described parents, particularly of toddlers, less so with older kids, but particularly with younger kids. Sometimes there's, we see those things all the time. They're very typical and distinguishing those features and figuring out what's going on. How do you find that parents might seeking support? Or how can they know whether or not they're looking for a problem, seeing this as a problem, or looking for an understanding? Or maybe just kind of misunderstanding what is typical development? That was a lot of

questions. That is, that's a great question though. A lot of most parents first realize there might be, or I should say most parents seek professional consultation when they notice there's a communication difference. And when you ask them, they say, well, I did notice something before they started or didn't start talking. I noticed something in the first year of life was a little, not like my other children or not like my friends' children's children, but children are so babies are so different in temperament. So it is difficult to tell sometimes with a child that just may have a little bit of a different temperament than another. So it is hard to tell when they're really little, although we're getting a little bit better about noticing maybe there's not a lot of eye contact or they're not babbling too much. They're super quiet or maybe they cry too much or too little. So there's a lot of things that we're able to look at early on and we're getting better at that. But most parents bring their kids into seek help when they notice that they're maybe not saying words around 18 months or and usually by two years they're starting to combine words. So they're not really meeting those milestones. That's really when parents bring them in the most frequently for that reason.
