Hi,
From the history provided, it looks like lesions in peri-ventricular white matter which may be the reason for delayed walking in your child.
There are many conditions that may cause walking and talking problem (Global developmental delay) such as muscle related problem, Nerve related problem or could be due to brain injury during birth (perinatal asphyxia leading to cerebral palsy).
At present I would advise you to go for speech therapy as advised by your pediatrician and get a baseline hearing test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nirubhan Bharathy, Pediatrician
