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!

Thanks for explaining that it's best to work with a certified speech language pathologist if we have any concerns about whether our child's development is "normal." My sister came to visit yesterday and I was surprised how much trouble she was having understanding what my four-year-old son was trying to say to her. I'm glad I read your article so I can start looking for a local speech language service to consult with for peace of mind! Leave a Reply. |
