My son was non verbal until 3 almost 3.5 and by 5 he had good vocabulary and by 6 he can speak in full sentences . It's just he speaks only when he wants something but he can tell his needs and wants . My son was not even able to anything when he was 2 but he knew his letters and numbers and he used to point it out . Keep working and speech will come soon .
