The speaker (Ming @ Agents of Speech) argues that assessing a child becomes easier once the child reaches two years old and suggests that if caregivers wait six months they should use that time actively to support language development. The video mentions online techniques for facilitation, highlighting the Hannon Program as a useful but not well-structured (and often paid) resource, and emphasizes improving facilitators' interaction skills during the wait period.

This holds true for all professionals. As soon as your child gets to two year old, it gets easier to assess and it gets easier to work with. Let's say you can wait for six months. What are you going to do in between whilst you're waiting? What we can do at these six months is to help your child do better in language development and we become better facilitators. So what does that mean? There are a bunch of techniques that are online that you can check out and one of them is called Hannon Program. I think it's really good, but at the same time it's not very structured. It's quite difficult to follow if you don't understand the way of how you should interact with your kid. You can read more about the Handon program on the Internet. Sadly, most of the stuff isn't really free.
