Hello,
If a similar patient comes to my opd I would suggest that what you have started to do is good for him. Take him for walks, talk to him in between and tell stories and slowly make him tell it back to you.
Tell him things of his interest and make him slowly repeat. parenting is an art. You need so much patience for this.
After trying this for a month or two if still, he's not improving I would suggest you meet a psychologist because they can asses your kid directly and guide you better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
