Aim to Communicate

New research on articulation development!!! Y’all, this is so exciting- McLeod & Crowe (2018) published their results and personally, I feel like this is great info!

What does this mean? The AVERAGE child will master each sound by the age noted- which also means that even if they are a little bit older and still haven’t mastered the sound, it’s ok. But I do think this is great info for parents & SLPs to have because we know the sooner the better (and usually quicker and easier too!) when we look at articulation intervention!
