▫️Phonological processes are sound error patterns that young children use to simplify speech when they are learning to talk.

▫️These errors can make your child’s speech extremely difficult to understand.

▫️Here is a chart of some of the most common processes and when elimination should be expected.

My 2 favorite tips for parents to help their little ones expand their speech and language skills ➡️
recasting + the “one up” method! So simple and so effective!

Do you ever wonder how “clear” your child’s speech should be for their age? Take note that intelligibility percentages are much different with unfamiliar listeners as opposed to how much YOU can understand your child!

Are you looking for toys that can help improve your child's communication skills? When shopping this holiday season, remember:⁠

🔴 MORE IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER: Fewer toys at once may help toddlers to focus better and play more creatively. When there are too many toys in your toddler’s view it may actually reduce the quality of your toddler's play.⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠
🟢 SIMPLE IS GOOD: Parents tend to use more language and more descriptive language while playing with visually simplistic toys (e.g. lego duplos or nesting blocks) versus visually complex toys (e.g. toys that make noise or have flashing lights). ⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠
⚪️ HAVE FUN: Interacting with your child during play is so important. Get on the floor, be silly, and have fun!

What are your favorite toys for little ones? 🎁

Not sure when your child should be acquiring certain speech sounds? While many SLPs wait to work on that tricky /R/ sound, recent research shows that most children are able to produce 90% of consonants correctly by age 5!
