Hi,
Periventricular leucomalacia is caused due to birth asphyxia. This can cause delay in the milestones of development like the symptoms which u mentioned.
As ur kid is 4yrs old, first take him to speech therapist as the delay in this treatment reduces the chance of speech production.(Do not delay)
Also he requires IQ assessment,consult psychiatrist/clinical psychologist for the same.
