A member asked:
My son is 2 years and 4 months old. he will repeat words but does not talk on his own. what age can i expect him to start talking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Evaluation: have you discussed this with your pediatrician? Schedule an appointment with your pediatrician to go over speech expectations and then have a referral to speech therapy and audiologist as needed. How does your son communicate his wants/needs to you? (Pointing, making noises, etc)
