Dr. Wang Qiuyue
A 2-year-old child’s failure to speak may stem from hearing impairment, but other factors cannot be ruled out—including inadequate parental companionship and interaction since infancy, or cerebral palsy. It is recommended that the child be taken to a reputable local hospital for relevant diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause, followed by treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.
