Have you ever noticed your child making repetitive errors while learning to speak like adults?
Symptoms of phonological processes include repetitive sound errors, difficulty organizing the sound patterns, and inability to form the sounds of words correctly.
Things like “poon” for “spoon” “bus” for “buzz” and “banana” for “nana” happen commonly with children. When a phonological process persists beyond the expected age at which it should have been resolved, a child is considered to have a phonological delay.
Let’s take a look at the ages for when common phonological processes should stop being used:
