Speech delay

I have a 4 year old daughter who has been diagnosed with a mild speech delay. No signs of autism, she’s been tested. But I’m wondering what I can do at home to help her? She talks and communicate mostly what she wants, however, there’s a disconnect. Watching her get frustrated when she knows what she wants but can’t form the words. We’ve tried speech therapy, but it wasn’t helping (will try again). But is there something I’m missing? We read daily, she loves books. Put her in daycare last year (Covid babies didn’t get to socialize much so I feel like she missed out). Are there Toys? Games? Activities? Diet suggestions? Anything that can help. Thank you!

Social interaction with peers is the best way for her to build verbal skills.
It ok to tell the other children she need help asking g for things the other children will help her and build those skills she’ll be talking no stop before you know it.
Did you have her hearing tested? Make sure there nothing medically wrong.
Lots of Covid babies are speech delayed because everyone had on mask so the children didn’t see anyone mouth moving. 0 Likes
