Speech and Articulation

You may have wondered about speech therapy if:

• your child’s speech and sounds are "off"

• you are your child's translator

• your child is getting frustrated not being understood

• they are becoming self-conscious

• others have commented on your child's speech

​​

Speech therapy focuses on changing the way your child produces sounds and words, and can start around 3 years old. Different speech sounds become easier to produce at different ages. 

There may be specific sounds that your child is producing incorrectly, or overall, your child is difficult to understand.

As a general guideline, to an unfamiliar listener, at:

2 years old, understand about 50%

3 years old, understand about 75%

4 years old, understand about 100%
