Ms. Sherry Miller - Speech

Articulation is the ability to accurately produce speech sounds.

• By state law, a child is considered to have an "articulation" disorder if they have one or more sound production error "beyond the age at which 90% of the population has achieved mastery" according to developmental norms. The error needs to be consistent throughout their conversational speech. 
• It is important to note that speech sounds are fully acquired at different ages of the child's life and that it can vary between boys and girls. As we provide school-based therapy, the educational and social impact of the errors are also considered when determining eligibility.
