Dear Patient,

Its great news his hearing is perfect and he is not autistic. Speech delays are not uncommon.
You will need to read out to him and be loud and expressive and use gestures to talk and explain, encourage him to repeat after you patiently. Discourage iPad and phone screens. Enroll in a playgroup where he can interact with other kids. Most of all you will need to consider speech therapy which can help him develop the necessary speech for his age. Read the article below and find a speech therapist near you

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
