Articulation Therapy Activities, Speech Sound Development
& Pronunciation Help

Articulation refers to how clearly a child produces speech sounds and words. When children have difficulty saying sounds correctly, they may be harder to understand than other children their age. Speech sound errors can affect communication, confidence, and overall language development.

In this collection of articles, pediatric speech-language pathologist Laura Mize shares practical information about articulation development, speech sound milestones, pronunciation difficulties, and evidence-based speech therapy techniques. Learn how children develop speech sounds, which errors are age-appropriate, and when speech sound mistakes may indicate a need for intervention.

Whether you're concerned about articulation delays, unclear speech, phonological disorders, apraxia, or simply want to help a child improve speech clarity, you'll find therapy activities, developmental guidance, and practical strategies for supporting speech sound development at home and in therapy.
