Hi, My daughter is 3 years old. She is able to speak only 2-3 words. Sometimes she responds to her name and follows few simple instructions and sometimes does not care when busy. Never watches tv and not much interested in mobiles. Goes to play school from past 6 months. And socially well behaved. Rest she is a normal child. Consulted pediatric ent and speech therapist. Got BERA test done. Results were normal. OAE could not be performed as the probe dint fit properly and middle ear functioning was also tested and was normal. Now the speech therapist says he is confident with the result of BERA even when OAE could not be performed, and suggested speech therapy for month. Autism was ruled out. Please advice as I am confused. She uses her left hand dominantly and reached all other milestones like walking, crawling etc. A bit delayed.
