Speech

My son's speech is fantastic (as in, he has a huge amount of vocabulary and understands everything). However, his pronunciation isn't the best and he has some words which he says consistently but don't sound anything like what they're meant to.

3 Year Old with speech delay

My son is 3 and he has a speech delay, he does say some words and repeat what we say but he’s not where he should be with his speech. Is anyone else in the same boat? If so, does your child seem to be behind in other areas, like not playing the same as their peers?
