"This chapter explores typical or normal speech sound acquisition. At the beginning of this chapter we consider the reasons it is important for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to understand typical speech sound acquisition, models of speech sound acquisition, and the research methods that have been employed to understand how children learn to produce speech sounds. The remainder of this chapter examines children’s speech sound acquisition of English, from infancy to the school years."
