Hello doctor,
My 27-month-old toddler is not saying much. When he wants something he will use his hand to get it or use my fingers instead of his to point to a picture or words in a book. He skeals and shouts a lot when he is excited.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As reported by you, we need to evaluate the hearing of your child by an audiologist. If he does not have any kind of hearing loss. Further, you have to consult a speech therapist nearby or online for detailed evaluation and treatment. There are a lot of factors that affect language skills. Till then stop understanding his gestures so that he feels the necessity to speak.
Thank you.
