Please note: These Informal Assessments are not standardized. A chart summarizing typical age of acquisition for speech sounds and for phonological patterns are included, based on current research. Please note the ages of acquisition are a guideline, and will vary depending on which research you refer to. Use your clinical judgement when choosing goals. This informal assessment will not tell you which sounds or patterns to treat or provide you with a diagnosis.
