Speech Production refers to how sounds of a language are produced. Your child may benefit from speech therapy if they are:
Speech sounds usually develop very early in life – from cooing to babbling to first words and beyond, children rapidly learn how to produce all of the consonant and vowel sounds of our language in order for their words to be understood by those around them. Most children can say almost all speech sounds by age 4, although some sounds (such as r, l, or s) might still be developing. If a child is having trouble saying sounds that are expected for their age, then they have what is called a speech sound disorder. |
