2 year old not talking

Hi there! My gorgeous nearly 2 year old DS is a very happy, content little boy - loves playing with us, lots of laughing, giggling etc. But he is just not interested in talking. I had a zoom consultation with a speech therapist a few months ago. She assessed him as developmentally in line, apart from his speech where she said there was a delay. She said she would reassess him again at age 2 - but I don’t think his speech has progressed much. He says a couple of words quite clearly ‘daddy’, ‘quack’ - other words are sounds e.g a feeble animal noises. Not saying ‘mummy’ or his sister’s name/his name yet. He tends to only name things in a book, not much in the environment. He rarely points (except to things in a book). He had an audiometry test last week - his ears were clear but he was quite distressed when performing the tasks, so they will reassess in a few weeks time. He is generally very happy, he makes sounds all the time - sings (Dee Dee da) etc. He can get v anxious in unfamiliar situations, or with new toys. Certain toys like a ride on bike, scooter he absolutely refuses to try. Any ideas? Thank you!

No advice but he sounds similar to my little one. Although my DS has no words yet. Ds also isn't interested in ride on toys, I thought he was the only one! Hope you get some good advice soon Smile

Hey how are your little ones now, my little boy sounds exactly like both of yours. He has tries to tell me something like a little conversation I just can't understand any of it. He says a few words but says them when I ask.
