[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]"Just" a delay would resolve itself without intervention.[/b] Often, it takes time for a child to be old enough to get an appropriate dx. Therefore, you often don't know at the beginning of the journey whether it's just a delay or something that would benefit from early intervention. Most parents would rather intervene just in case on the theory that it won't hurt and might help and usually earlier intervention is better than later intervention.[/quote] This is absolutely not true. Delays may resolve without intervention, but generally a delay to improve it needs intervention. There are kids that have lisps or can't say their Rs or Ls b/c there was no intervention when they were young. These delays are more difficult to fix the older a person gets.[/quote] If a child can't sat /r/ or /l/ by age 8 it is considered an articulation disorder. I've never heard anyone describe a child as having a delay in articulation. [/quote]
