Delay in acquiring language and speech can be due to problems with hearing. She needs to undergo detailed ear examination followed by audiological evaluation such as BERA and OAE. If these tests are normal then iq evaluation by a Paediatric psychology specialist is recommended
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
