I have a situation with my grandson. He is six years old and can not pronounce or say any single word such as, mummy, daddy, come, go, food, drink etc… He can hear and follow instructions very well but can not reply. He is not mute. He mumble and scream, cry out loud, laugh and does all other noise but no single words. I am so worried he will never speak and communicate as he grow older. I’ve praying and needed professional help and advise. thank you for reading.
