Articulation and Phonological Disorders

Every child develops speech sounds at their own pace, but when a child has difficulty producing sounds correctly (articulation disorder) or uses patterns that make their speech hard to understand (phonological disorder), it can impact their confidence, learning, and ability to connect with others.

At May’s Speech Therapy, we understand how important clear communication is to a child’s development. Early support can make a big difference in helping children be understood and feel heard.

How We Support Children with Articulation and Phonological Disorders

Our approach is warm, family-centred, and play-based — making therapy fun and meaningful for little ones. We tailor sessions to your child’s unique needs, working together with you every step of the way.

Our therapy sessions may include:

• Fun, engaging activities that encourage correct sound production
• Games and visuals to teach sound patterns and rules
• Step-by-step support for tricky sounds (like “s,” “r,” or “th”)
• Strategies to help children generalise sounds into everyday talking
• Collaboration with parents to practise skills at home and track progress

We also provide easy-to-understand explanations and resources so you can feel confident supporting your child between sessions.
