Parents, did you know that by age 6, all speech sounds should be mastered? š£ļø Itās true! If your child is still struggling with speech sound errors beyond this age, it is considered developmentally inappropriate. It is not possible to know what kids will catch up and who wonāt so it is best to check and see, versus wait and see. The longer your child is producing this sound incorrectly, the more stubborn it can be to correct. Each sound has its own timeline for acquisition, so refer back to our previous posts to understand what to expect when. Donāt hesitate to reach out for support if you have concerns about your childās speech development. . . . #SGSpeechTherapy #PlayfulLearning #EmpoweringVoices #ChildhoodDevelopment #CommunicationJourney #SpeechTherapyWorks #calabasasspeechtherapy #calabasaspediatrician
