“I understand them, but other people struggle to.” 💬
Parents often become very good at understanding their child — even when words aren't completely clear.
But you might start noticing that grandparents, educators, teachers or other children regularly ask your child to repeat themselves.
Speech sounds develop over time, and there can be lots of variation between children. However, if your child is frequently frustrated because they're not being understood, or you're simply wondering whether their speech is developing as expected, you don't have to wait and see.
A Speech Pathologist can look at your child's individual speech and communication skills and provide guidance about whether support may be helpful.
