My son had the same problem. He would not talk and when he did he would leave out certain sounds or letters. I got a little sticky notes pad and wrote down common household things like the stove, television etc. I would stick them to the item they referred to and we would play a game to see what he could tell me and I would help him sound it out. There are also games you can buy that will help with that and flash cards are also a plus. Consider that he is 2 so he will need ones with pictures, it always helps. He goes to daycare now and is also in speech therapy which has been a blessing. My son is 4 and speaks a lot clearer than most adults. Good luck!

There are early intervention programs that your son can benefit from. I think your starting point is to call the school district, they will direct you (if the 1st person doesn't, talk to their supervisor) to the appropriate agency. Most people are unaware of these types of services. But the schools are very interested in early interventions that way by the time the child starts school, hopefully issues, such as your son's speech skills will be resolved.

I agree with the answers that suggest you speak to him as an adult, but there is one extra step to this: whenever he speaks to you force him to use comple words or phrases and to speak like a "big kid". Believe me, there is nothing more annoying than an older kid who still "baby talks". I work with pre-schoolers and I always reinforce in them the concept of them being grown kids and having the necessity to speak like a grown kid. In the same order of ideas whenever he says something or gives an answer that is incomplete model it back to him in a correct way and force him to repit it after you.

i would suggest a lot of interaction w/ him.... try explaining everything to him step by step, with lots of eye contact, smiling, laughing, tickling, etc... get him involved with what you are doing. always explain what things are, what you are doing, even if he doesn't understand, he will get used to hearing words being formed. always go, "mama is here", or "look, the refridgerator", etc etc.... next, READ to him every night. point out words, and let him look at pictures and laugh at things, and explain what they are. also, get some toys that encourage building, like blocks, or matching shapes to holes, w/ music, etc. the more he uses his curiosity to the fullest, the better he will be aware of his surroundings! good luck~

The best way is to talk to him as much as possible. Sit and read books to him like Dr Seuss etc.. Children learn from watching you and listening.

Start talking to him like an adult. Take the time to explain things and of course general conversation.

Take him to playgrounds; library where they read stories aloud; talk to him on a normal level, not baby talk; read to him. Remember his attention span is about five minutes...interact with people who do a lot of talking...

whenever you speak to him, talk to him like he's an adult, he'll pick up more words that way. also, get the baby einstein dvd "baby wordsworth", it teaches names of objects around the house in both english and sign language
