Child that is having difficulty listening and understanding

We have a child aged 4 who we are trying to support in terms of his listening, understanding and processing skills. He just seems zoned out at times! You could be talking to him on his level have eye contact and he is really not following you at all. We ask the children to say lift their table mat and a cup then bring it to the table and this is something we do every day with them - just repeating the words so that they remember but he never seems to click. He will sit down at the table without anything and it takes him quite a time to be told repeatedly that he needs the mat and cup to have snack. Similarly when he goes to wash his hands he will stand and look in the mirror for ever before he remembers he is there to wash his hands. Today for instance he was sitting at the play dough table when he noticed a child in the dressing up area with a hat on. He jumped up from the table and ran to the child, grabbed the hat from his head and started walking round and round in a circle. The other child was distraught and he never clicked that it was because he had taken the hat off. It took us quite a few moments to bring him back to his original play. What would you suggest we use/do? As I say even talking with him face to face and on his level, eye to eye is not working so what should we do instead? We have tried whispering, talking basically everything but to no avail.
