What families may notice
Signs a speech sound assessment may help
Substituting sounds
Using one sound in place of another, such as “tat” instead of “cat”.
Omitting sounds
Leaving sounds out of words, which can make speech difficult to understand.
Distorting sounds
Producing a sound in an unusual way, including a persistent lisp.
Adding sounds
Inserting extra sounds into words when speaking.
Speech sound disorders
Different patterns need different therapy
Articulation disorders
Difficulty physically producing particular speech sounds clearly.
Phonological disorders
Patterns in how a child organises and uses the sound system of language.
Motor-speech concerns
Speech difficulties involving the planning, programming or coordination of movement for speech.
Why therapy helps
Build clearer speech through targeted practice
Pinpoint the difficulty
An assessment identifies whether the concern is articulation, phonological or motor-speech related.
Target the right sounds
Therapy uses evidence-based approaches selected for the child’s specific speech pattern.
Build carry-over
Home practice helps new speech patterns move from the therapy room into everyday conversation.
