Re: What is this condition called?

[Guest guest]

This is a phonological process. It can be part of normal development, or if

the errors persist past the normal timeline it can be part of a phonological

disorder. Here is a great table which explains typical development. There

are links to other tables showing when kids should make the various correct

phonological sounds. One warning. I haven't explored this SLP's site, but

one of my kids' speech therapists said she doesn't " believe " in apraxia. I

just always refer to her tables because they are so clear and explain normal

development very well.

Communication Scripts Inc. They also have a child verse with a red bear. Mama

involve moving the tongue to the top your mouth which may be hard for him to do.

Subject: [ ] What is this condition called?

 

My 3 year old with autism has started talking but he replaces his consonants.

For example:

he says baba for mama

oten for open

poes for toes

taty for baby

jump is dump

bye bye is thay thay

close is pose

he replaces t's for p's and vice versa and likewise other consonants. I am

wondering how I can help him. Also his voice is very soft and tends to fade

away. Does this improve ?

Thanks,

I looked at her website and she does in fact acknowledge apraxia. She does a

nice job of giving a detailed explanation. See link below
