It could be something or it could be nothing. My cousin at 3.5 didn’t talk AT ALL.. they had him assessed and they kept saying since there were no other signs to just wait it out and one day he just snapped out of it and by 4.5 you never would have known it took him that long to speak. He’s 14 now and has no disabilities.
I’d say the fact that she can talk but isn’t is better than not talking and not being able. I would just try not to let it bother me and praise her over the top when she is using her words. I wouldn’t push the parents for an assessment just yet. Mark 6 months on a calendar and if nothing changes by then and she’s not having any other issues then bring it up to parents again.
