Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a phonological disorder?
We received Speech-Language Therapy (SLT) for phonological disorder, but it didn’t improve. Is it correct to seek SLT support again?
It is more important to first seek support from a child psychiatrist. After that, when Speech-Language Therapy (SLT) is received, many phonological issues can improve.
If my child can’t pronounce a few letters, like "r" or "l", will this improve on its own? Is support necessary?
If your child has difficulty pronouncing letters like "r" or "l" and it hasn't improved despite no medical reason, it may continue throughout their life. For example, while it may be tolerable if a child struggles with these sounds around 4-5 years old, if the issue persists after the age of 8, support is definitely necessary. However, the later the support is sought, the lower the chances of improvement.
