Good day! My son is 2.3 years old and still can't talk. He only says isolated syllables like 'mama', 'baba', 'Bibirevo' and that's it. The pediatrician said to wait, that he does gestures, understands requests, and everything is fine. I'm wondering if maybe I should see a neuropsychologist? So he can take a look too 🤷🏻️. I feel like his behavior is developing, he's becoming more mature, but his speech, alas, isn't. What do you think?
Hi everyone! I've read a lot, but I'm not sure if it's okay or not. I'd love to hear from real peopl…

If there's communication between you overall, meaning they can show they want to drink, want to go to the toilet, are hungry, don't want something but want something else, are cold, etc. — then they'll start talking.

A neuropsychologist might refer you to a neurologist and a speech therapist.

At 3 years old, my son's neurologist diagnosed him with a developmental delay in speech, specifically sensory-motor alalia, and referred him to a neuropsychologist. However, the neuropsychologist said everything was fine within her scope and advised us to continue with the speech therapist. It was actually the speech therapist who helped him start speaking from scratch.)

To the neurologist. My son also had an intelligence of 5+, he understood and did everything I asked. But he had motor alalia and was silent until he was 3. At 3, I started to worry and took him to speech therapists and neurologists, but unfortunately, they weren't very helpful. At 4, I barely got him to speak, but only I could understand him. No one else. At 5, I transferred him to a speech therapy kindergarten, plus half a year of nootropics, rehabilitation, and acupuncture. It was only with great effort that I got my child to speak by age 7, but problems remained. Even at 9, he still works with speech therapists, and we continue with exercises at home. A 2-year-old should already be saying some words. I don't recommend waiting around for a miracle.

My oldest started talking only at 3, and my middle one was the same. And the youngest, at 3!!! I just wore myself out with nerves for nothing.

None of my kids talked early. After 2.5 years old, their speech just exploded. My son is 3.2 now and he just won't stop talking, saying the funniest things!

It might be a speech delay, or it might not be ) Tell the pediatrician all your concerns, and they'll refer you to a neurologist or someone else. The Bibirevo part was funny, considering you're from Krasnodar lol, oh that darn T9!

You definitely won't make things worse by going to a specialist 😊

Zhanna I agree. They won't start talking, they'll just keep being lazy about it, since mom understands anyway, why bother trying? 😄

Zhanna It's not even about laziness, it's a disruption in the brain's speech center.

Vasilisa So the pediatrician says to wait, but I'm afraid of losing time and I don't want to drive myself crazy or stress him out by going to specialists. What if he starts talking on his own?
