Speech is a complex process , which happens when the child is able to listen to sound , or in response to visual and tactile cues . Any defects in the sensory or motor pathways, or in the neural system, including behavioural problems can cause delayed or suboptimal speech.
That said, your child is speaking in monosyllables , which is good. To help him improve, you need to provide him with more sensory stimulus , like talking to him , singing , playing, holding, massage etc. The more you talk to him in short two or three words sentences, the more he will try to speak. Pointing out to pictures in books or surrounding objects, and naming them will also improve comprehension and speech .
