Proper evaluation and exclusion of hearing difficulties and ASD should be part of management... In any case.. early stimulation and speech therapy is a necessary management and should be speedily taken up.. as also parent training. Regards.

Simple tip: tell him things and not ask questions. The more you interact with him and tell him things by showing, more he will speak in few days. No questions
