[quote=Anonymous]No. Those are normal sounds not to develop until 5 or 6. http://mommyspeechtherapy.com/wp-content/downloads/forms/sound_development_chart.pdf Most of the boys (and some girls) in our class of all recent 5s has some obvious deficiencies in their speech still. Like some blurry or lispy sounds. We did therapy for our son ages 3-4 because of some serious articulation deficiencies (due to deafness from ear fluid). We stopped the therapy when our therapist left the DC area, and when we asked her if we needed to find another therapist, she advised that the main problems had resolved, and that since then they had been working on various sound combos and tongue placement. And that while she wants to make sure he gets all those sounds, and lots of kids at his age have them, 5-6 was a normal age to self-correct. she told us to wait a year or so and see what happens.
