Hi @viki123
How is your DS progressing now? Did speech therapy help him greatly?
I have a friend who is exactly in the same situation as you were when you opened this thread. I am really not sure what to tell her becasue we didnt do any evaluation for our DS. I appreciate if you could update.

 

Thank you @viki123 for your reply. My friend told that she is going to take her kid to speech therapy.

 

My kid had this problem and we went for hearing test twice and got cleared.

Also,I feel kids should start some words atleast by 3 else never ignore.Although one of my friend's son started talking by 4 and non stop and all was fine.

 

My daughter is 3.5 years old but still having speech delay. But she did improve a lot in speech and social activities after starting Preschool. If there is no hearing trouble, they sure will catch up. Just don't give up. Exposure them to lot of talking, stories, friends. Sometimes kids pick up speech when not with familiar people,when they need to communicate to express themselves. Also make them say what they are pointing at and need instead of simply giving it to them. That's all we can do as parents. I really recommend some playschool or daycare or something if you don't see progress after a while. But don't get too worried. I'm still more or less in your shoes.
