My daughter is 3 years old and she is not talking yet. Is speech delay fixable?

Definitely. Talk to your doctor for a referral to a licensed speech-language pathologist for an evaluation. You also can get a free evaluation through your local school district.
Speech and language delays can have long term effects on overall academic success and even socialization. Without knowing your case, there is no way to say if it is "fixable". Recommend seeing a speech-language pathologist to address her issues.
By around 2 children should be forming two word utterances and expanding from there. Check ins with your pediatrician would be great as well as looking into your state/area’s early intervention programs which will target speech therapy.
