Kind attention Rediff Gurus : My 2 year old son clearly speaks Mummy and Papa but struggles to talk/utter other things.

Hello dr. My son is 2.9 year old and till now he doesn't speak a word but does the babbling sounds like Mama baba etc. and he only listens to his parents only. He os not listening to his teachers. We have conducted the BERA test also but the reports were normal as he is not having any hearing problem. Please advise me what to do as he has been expelled from his Playschool and the school staff is saying that my son is not able to hear properly and i told them that we have done BERA test but the school authorities are saying that you have to conduct more tests and from a single test we cannot identify his problem. So can you please specify what to do?
