Two year old unable to utter words

2017-08-24 14:15:51
My daughter is two years old now and she has not been able to speak normally as other younger kids.She usually gestures for her needs and rarely utters papa/mama.She appears normal and even tries to imitate nursery rhymes.As a parent we are worried about her vocabulary.Please advise what we can do to help our child speak normally.

Speech development incorporates 3 elements,normal hearing,normal brain function and normal speech apparatus. At 2 years,she should have ATLEAST a 3 word vocabulary of meaningful words. If you feel she has less than that,then get her hearing tested.
