Speech delay. These kind of issues!

Hello At 3 years, most children should be able to: Speak in 3–4 word sentences Ask questions Use 200–250 words or more Be understood by strangers most of the time If a 3-year-old is not speaking at all or has very limited speech, it requires early evaluation and support. Causes: Speech delay (isolated delay, often improves with therapy) Hearing problems (common cause; fluid in ears, recurrent infections) Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) Intellectual disability Lack of stimulation (less interaction, screen exposure) Neurological causes (rare) Does your child watch mobile, TV, or tablet for long hours? Excess screen time can delay speech. We recommend no more than 30–60 minutes of high-quality screen time per day under supervision.

Hearing test (BERA or OAE if needed) Developmental screening – to assess understanding, interaction, play Speech and language evaluation Referral to a developmental pediatrician or child psychologist

Talk to the child slowly, clearly, and regularly Name objects during routine activities Encourage pointing and nonverbal communication Avoid mobile screens Read simple picture books aloud daily
