A subgroup ın the articulation delay category is a phonological delay which means your child may be slower at going through the processes of speech development. For example, it is absolutely natural if your 12-month old says da instead of dad, however, if this dropping of the last consonant persists that means he is not developing his speech sounds at a normal pace. Speech therapy can assist you in helping your child catch up to where he should be in speech development.
Wouldn’t it be great if an ASHA certified speech and language pathologist could teach you how to identify a child who is exhibiting speech-language disorder?
