and lips. Speech sound acquisition is developmental in nature, and all children have trouble making particular sounds at some point in their development. However, some children have lingering errors and benefit from intervention. An articulation disorder occurs when a child omits, substitutes, or distorts a sound within his speech beyond the age of expected development.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2eec64 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d2eec64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><em style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 18px;\">Phonological processing<\/em><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 18px;\">\u00a0refers to the predictable patterns and processing of speech sounds. Children often use a phonological process that creates a predictable substitution pattern that simplifies the movement required by the tongue and jaw\u2014for example, using a \/t\/ or \/d\/ for a \/k\/ or \/g\/ sound (\u2018tar\u2019 for \u2018car\u2019 or \u2018doe\u2019 for \u2018go\u2019).\u00a0 Because the child\u2019s speech errors follow a pattern, familiar listeners often \u201cbreak the code\u201d and understand more than unfamiliar listeners do. Many children demonstrate phonological errors in their developmental progression; however, if errors continue beyond the age of expected resolution, intervention may be warranted.<\/span><\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-04b916d\" data-id=\"04b916d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f975c2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f975c2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aspeechpathseattle.com\/wp-home\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Pull-Quotes_movement-qkosj7xx0aytcxrq394n2l4dny2tu65mi20r2i60g0.png?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" title=\"Pull-Quotes_movement\" alt=\"Pull-Quotes_movement\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c5a1e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c5a1e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Signs &amp;

Children with CAS demonstrate difficulty in the neurologic planning, programming, and coordination of the fine motor movements required for precise articulation of speech. These children often know what they want to say, but their brains struggle to plan the movements required to say it. CAS differs from a typical articulation delay in that the impact on speech clarity is much more profound and progress requires more effort and is more time consuming. Only about 3% of children with an articulation disorder have CAS. CAS may be suspected at the time of assessment, but due to the complexity of the disorder a diagnosis may not be given at the initial evaluation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element

Parents are acutely aware of their children\u2019s early development and are constantly (even if subconsciously) mentally comparing their child\u2019s development to other same-age peers. For this reason, parents usually develop concerns before anyone else. Academic language is rarely used in conversational and daily interactions, therefore, academic language challenges can often be less obvious to families until there are school-based concerns. You know your child best\u2014if you are concerned that there may be a problem, it is always best to speak with your pediatrician and schedule an evaluation with a speech-language pathologist.<\/p><h5>Additional Resources &amp; Information:<\/h5><ul><li>American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (<a
