Speech delay
My son is 3 at the end of March.. he chats away all day every day, understands well, listening well... however he struggles with pronunciation. As his mum I can understand everything he is saying however others can't! I'm now wondering if this is a speech delay as such? I'm sure he will get there in his own time but I can't help but over think

If he's talking lots that's a good thing. Are there particular letters he struggles with?
Theres actually a lot of sounds that aren’t age appropriate until 5 or 6 years old. If you want to practice start with the individual sounds, can he hear and copy them correctly? I teach nursery and a lot of the S+L reports come back as mostly age appropriate as long as the understanding is there

My son is the same. We are seeing Speech and Languge next week so I will see then what they say. We did see a speech and language privately a while ago and she said he is behind but should catch up and may need some sessions when he is further along to help pronunciation but not to worry x
