Is Your Child’s Speech on Track?
Did you know that children don’t learn all their speech sounds at once? Speech development happens gradually, and some sounds take longer to master than others!
Here’s a general guide to speech sound development by age!
A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
✔️ Every child develops at their own pace.
✔️ Speech sound development is gradual, and different sounds emerge at different ages.
✔️ How easily others understand your child matters, too!
✔️ If you have concerns about your child’s speech, a speech-language pathologist can help determine whether an evaluation may be beneficial.
You don’t have to wait and see if your child will simply grow out of a speech concern! Early support can make a difference.
