​The way we pronounce words has a significant impact on our success as communicators. The way we sound affects not only how well we are understood, but our listeners' perceptions as well as our self confidence.

When should I see a Speech-Language Pathologist? ​

My child...

• is 18 months old and not yet making at least 4 consonant sounds 
• is 24 months old and not yet understood by unfamiliar people at least 50% of the time
• older than 24 months and not yet forming words and sound easily 
• is 3 years old and leaving out sounds at the beginning and ends of words

*Different speech sounds are expected to be heard accurately at different ages. If you have concerns about specific sound productions please ask us. ​
