I have a 2 year old she's going to be 3 in June... she doesent want to talk she only says about 7 little words but every time I try teaching her new words she doesent listen or not interested... I know she should be talking by now at least a little bit more than just 7 words... should I start thinking about putting her in a program so they could teach her new words?

Just get her socializing with more kids if possible.
Also when you see she wants something don't just go handing it to her. Make a word game out of it. Like if she points to a cookie say what is it you want? If she gets upset instead of saying cookie pick up the cookie and try and get her to say cookie before you hand it to her. Many kids just don't talk at that age because they see no reason to talk.
My mom always said that I never said anything until I was three and then she couldn't get me to shut up.
I know a lot of kids that are not talking until four years old.
