Speech

When an individual finds it difficult to produce or acquire certain age appropriate sounds e.g. consonants or vowels, it may lead to a speech difficulty. When the speech follows an atypical pattern of acquisition e.g. deleting final sounds in a word, it is a phonological or speech disorder. Problems with fluency and voice are also speech disorders.

Please refer to the table below to know if your child has acquired the given sounds by the correct age or if he/she needs an evaluation by a Speech Therapist
