Preschool Screenings
The first 5 years of life are the most vital for development of speech
and language skills. Articulation or speech is the process by which sounds,
syllables, and words are formed. A
child’s sounds/articulation develops as he grows and the majority of speech
sounds should be correct by age 4. Although s/he may not use all the sounds of
speech correctly, s/he should be intelligible to strangers.
