Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
Usually children start to walk at 13 months of age but it may be as late as 18 months in some children which is normal.
But if he cannot get to sitting position by himself then that is a delay. Also he should be able to understand few things and point like where is the fan? etc. I would suggest you get a formal developmental assessment done for him so that his exact developmental age is determined and the therapy may be started accordingly.
I hope I have helped you
Thank you
