Is it articulation… or phonology? 🤔
Many parents notice their child has trouble saying certain sounds, but not all speech sound difficulties are the same.
✨ Articulation is when a child has difficulty making specific speech sounds (like a lisp or trouble saying /r/).
✨ Phonology is when a child has difficulty understanding and using speech sound patterns, causing predictable errors like saying “tat” for “cat” or leaving off the ends of words.
While they may sound similar, identifying the why behind your child’s speech errors is essential because treatment looks different for each.
A comprehensive speech-language evaluation can determine the underlying cause and create a personalized treatment plan to help your child communicate with confidence.
If you’ve been wondering whether your child’s speech is developing as expected, we’re here to help. 💛
