Signs To Look For
Articulation errors are common in young children, but here are signs it’s worth checking in with a speech pathologist, including challenges with grammar and sentence construction, and sound pattern errors.
Strangers understand fewer than half of what your child says.
Strangers have difficulty understanding your child, even with context.
Still substituting or omitting sounds in words (e.g. ‘wabbit’ for ‘rabbit’ or ‘wion’ for ‘lion’).
Difficulty being understood by teachers and peers; reluctance to speak up.
Accent modification goals, or clarity issues affecting work or confidence.
Embarrassment, frustration or avoidance of speaking situations.

Common Questions
Speech sound development follows a predictable pattern. During your free phone consultation, we can walk you through what's typical for your child's age and when it's worth getting checked.
It varies depending on how many sounds are affected, and how often we see your child. Factors like sound pattern errors, auditory processing, and orofacial myofunctional function can all influence how long therapy takes. Many children make significant progress in 6–12 months with regular sessions and home practice, though some will need longer depending on what's involved.
Absolutely. We work with adults on accent modification, clarity for professional settings, and articulation changes after illness or injury.
