Animal Articulation
Toddler Articulation Disorders??
My daughter will be 22 months on march 5th. Now she has a very big vocabulary. (She can say atleast 70 different words). But in Parents magazine I was reading about talking delays and she had a couple of signs for the Articulation Disorders. The signs she had were:
-Omitting sounds (“bu” for “bus” – she says bu for bird and pea for please, etc…
-Substituting sounds (“wamb” for “lamb” – she says voo for shoe, and dat for cat, etc…)
but there were 2 other signs that she DID NOT have:
-distorting sounds such as w/a lisp
-adding extra sounds (animamal instead of animal)
she doesn’t do the last 2, but the first 2 she does do… should I be worried? also the first 2 she doesn’t do it on every thing she says, just a few words (like maybe 20 or so words out of about 70)… the others are pretty clear… thanks for all the answers…
I wouldn’t be worried about her speech just yet. She is still learning that there are different sounds out there. My son does the same thing. It’s because when we talk they only tend to hear familiar sounds and will think that is what you said. When she does this try to show her the new sound that you are making. It could be the start of a disorder, but I highly doubt it. Many kids do this when they are still learning to talk because of sound confusion. 9 times out of 10 they eventually learn what the actual sound is. My son went through many different phases of both “thank you” and “I love you”. Thank you went from “k” to “kiku” to “take you” and he can now say “thank you.” I love you went from “i-uh-oo” to “lub oo” to “wuv you” to “I love you”. Our kittens are named Linus and Lucy, but he calls them Winus and Nucy. That right there lets me know that he is just confusing sounds and it’s not an issue with being able to say the sounds. If I ask him to repeat after me, he can actually say the “L” sounds.
I would watch for her to constantly make mistakes with the same sounds. If she can sometimes say “sh” in other words, chances are that it is just confusion. If she uses the “v” sound to replace the “sh” sound in every word then you may look into whether or not she has a speech disorder.
Good luck!
