When your child first starts to talk, they are just learning how to use their articulators (e.g., tongue, lips, teeth) together to produce sounds. So, their speech sounds may not always be perfect and that’s okay!

Based on McLeod and Crowe, 2018, these sounds should be mastered by the following ages.

If your child hasn’t mastered an age appropriate sound, here are some tricks to help:

1. Model the correct articulation of the sound in words. If your child says “tat” repeat back “Kat” while over emphasizing the sound you corrected.

2. Try not to imitate your child’s incorrect speech sounds. No matter how cute their baby talk may sound 😉

3. Use the trifecta approach. Let your child see the correct sound by being at eye level with you, hear the correct sound, and feel the correct sound by touching your mouth or throat (wherever the sound is being produced).

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns!

One of our favorite toys is the fine motor hedgehog. Mr. Hedgehog is a great tool for targeting a large variety of speech goals.

⭐️Core words: more, in, out, go, help, all done

⭐️Expanding utterance length: hide the spikes in a fall sensory bin to encourage utterance use “I found a spike” or “I see a spike”

⭐️Spatial concepts: hide spikes around the room and have your child tell you where they found the spike (e.g., under the table, on the chair)

⭐️Reinforcement: you can pair Mr. Hedgehog with any task to reward good work or participation with a spike. When Mr. Hedgehog is all done it’s time to move on to the next activity!

TIP TUESDAY!! ⭐️ ⭐️

Get eye to eye with your child to help get them producing various sounds!! This way, your little one can see your mouth and hear the sound/word at the same time! ⁠We even recommend a hands-on approach so that your child can feel the vibration of the sound or feel a puff of air depending on the sound that you are making. Let them HEAR the sound, SEE the sound, and FEEL the sound!

To promote sound imitation in this setting, over exaggerate the sound or word (Say “shhhhhhoe” or “mmmmmoon”).⁠
Don’t be afraid to raise your pitch or intonation when talking. Research shows that this helps babies stay focused for a longer duration of time!
