my son just turned three in january. he is a sweet, lovable, funny, active little boy. all of his developmental milestones have been right on, with the exception of his speech. as i said, he just turned three, and he only has 2 words that are actually "words". his mouth goes non-stop, but it's mostly jibber jabber. he has had 2 hearing tests, both which showed normal results. he understands everything that is said to him, or asked of him. he listens very well, and co-operates with simple requests. why isn't he talking??? he is currently getting "help" from a speech language pathologist, however the progress is minimal. any ideas? comments? similar situations? thanks.

You should take him to the school district for additional testing and possible placement.
He could have verbal apraxia. My son was not talking at 3 years old and I was able to get him started in school for speech therapy. He is now 11 and still needs help.
But I am glad he was able to get some help so early. So please do not delay because the
earlier speech is started the better the long term results will be.
Good Luck.
