[quote=Anonymous]SLP here...different SLPs have varying levels of comfort/experience for treating speech sound disorders. That being said, 'r' is one of the hardest sounds to teach and it does require a child to be willing to put effort into practicing their sounds outside of speech therapy. Have you spoken with the SLP about what you can do at home to reinforce what is being practiced/taught during speech therapy? Additionally, if a kid has attention difficulties the speech therapy process may be longer than for a child who can pay attention to their own speech errors and actively adjust to correct them. Lastly, if a therapist is saying they can't treat 'r' until age 8 then they are not up to date on current evidence based practices and you should find someone else.[/quote]
