One of the top questions I get is about whether or not a child should be saying certain speech sounds.
Let me tell you, there is a WIDE range of normal when it comes to speech sound acquisition.
But in general, we know that certain sounds (like /b/ and /m/) come in early…
…and other sounds (like /r/ and /l/) come in later.
And knowing those milestones can help us decide which children need speech therapy, and which can wait it out.
I'm speech-language pathologist Carrie Clark and in today's episode of The Speech and Language Kids Podcast, I'll be telling you what ages certain sounds should come in by and I'll be giving you a Therapy Roadmap for how to help them if they're not.
