WHAT IS A SPEECH DISORDER? Go to WHAT IS A LANGUAGE DISORDER? Although some children are precocious in the acquisition of speech and may be able to produce understandable speech by the time they are 30 months of age, in some children, it is not uncommon for one or two speech sounds to remain "unlearned" until 72 months of age. By the time a child is 48 months old, however, she should be speaking well enough to be understood all of the time. See Speech and Language Milestones Checklists As the child matures from the babbling baby to the competent speaker, she eliminates from her speech the babbled sounds which are not common to her environment, making judgments based on listener feedback to select patterns of speech which are continually fine tuned and eventually generalized. The child unwittingly learns to pair, and then group, speech sounds which share characteristics. For example, /t/ and /d/, are paired because they are both produced when by the tongue tip strikes the hard palate behind the teeth and produces a little explosion of air. Though made in the back of the mouth with the soft palate raised to strike the back throat wall, /k/ and /g/ are grouped with /t/ and /d/ because of the explosion of air resulting when they are made. Besides such groupings of speech sounds, the child also learns that words have shapes made of consonant and vowel sounds and these sounds are patterned in certain ways.
