What can you do to help your child with a speech delay?
My son is 3 and a half and we found out he has a speech delay.

let him be. He will talk when he wants. the child is taking it all in. he will be smarter for it.

Encourage the child when they make strides during their speech. Just be positive.

Ok If I am right in thinking that he is a little behind. Keep talking to him and maybe learn sign language. This way he can still communicate with you without the frustration.
I also highly recommend the employment of a speech therapist. Two of my kids had speech problems. One didn't talk til he was four and the other stuttered. It is the utmost importance that you talk and model this communicative tool. Sound insane and talk about what you are doing in front of your son. "I'm stirring the sauce" "i'm getting the plates. See one, two three," etc.
Good luck
