Does toung tie effect his speech? hes is not even saying one word.

Lingual Frenum: AN attached lingual frenum can cause difficulty in pronouncing certain sounds. If your son is 3 years old (as you posted) and is not speaking a single word, there may be other issues at hand. Please have him evaluated.
