In FL early intervention is also up to age 3, but, qualifying can be difficult. Our 2 year old did not qualify despite a speech delay because her cognitive capacity was too high. So, we took her to a private therapist thinking insurance would cover. Alas, it does not, most policies only cover speech for autistic or mentally impaired children. However, we took her privately anyway and paid for it, and when she turned 3, we took her to the local elementary school and she is now seeing a speech therapist there twice a week and we think it is helping her. My suggestion, check out early intervention and your insurance, but, even if you have to pay, it is worth it to give your child the chance to catch up a bit before they go into there early school years.
