If he is not able to speak complete sentences
(like tell his name) ( few sentences that points to his needs) it is to be evaluated. Lack of propr stimulation could also cause this. Different languages at home could also cause this. Other history to be noted
Next Steps
Consultation with a Paediatrician /Developmental therapist if necessary
