"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."
