Speech sound development... What's "normal"?

It's May! Which also just happens to be Better Hearing and Speech Month. So, to kick off this year's BHSM, I'm going to address one of the most common questions I get from parents....

"What sounds should my child be saying?"

To help answer that question, I've made a little diagram you can use as a GUIDELINE for when children GENERALLY master certain sounds.

Side note: Although this diagram is a good general guideline, not all children develop speech in the same way or at the same rate. If you still have concerns about your child's speech PLEASE consult with a certified Speech Language Pathologist near you.

Look for more BHSM posts this month!
