Delayed verbal communications
My son is about to complete 3 in march. Though he utters some words and rhymes, which he used to listen but doesn't do any direct verbal communication to us. However he understands everything and make us do all his wishes by indicating or pointing towards what he wants. He plays no. Of games actively likes boxes joining and others as normal. Everything looks normal except direct verbal communication to us. Please suggest that how can I help him to improve, rather we encourage him to talk more. Or can I consult to any specialist of this field.
