Delayed: Sounds like his speech development is delayed. You should follow up with your pediatrician for an evaluation including a hearing test to help best decide on next course of action.

Speech pathologist: Have a speech pathologist who cares for children evaluate your child and help develop a plan to help. Your local school should have someone who can do this, or ask your doctor for a recommendation.

Possibly: It's important to get an evaluation through child find of your local school district. They will assess his ability to comprehend language as well as to produce it. They will also assess all other areas of his development and look for autistic behaviors. He should qualify for early childhood special education, with an individualized educational plan that is created with your input.
