Our US consonant acquisition review paper has been published overnight (OPEN ACCESS):
Crowe, K., & McLeod, S. (2020). Children's English consonant acquisition in the United States: A review. American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology. https://doi.org/10.1044/2020_AJSLP-19-00168

(The US posters are located below the posters for English acquisition across the whole world. Note the different images in the top right corner – either children around the world or around the US flag)
This paper used the same methods as the McLeod and Crowe (2018) paper that analysed data across 27 languages (OPEN ACCESS).
McLeod, S. & Crowe, K. (2018). Children’s consonant acquisition in 27 languages: A cross-linguistic review. American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 27, 1546-1571. https://doi.org/10.1044/2018_AJSLP-17-0100
To support the application of this research to practice, we have co-authored the following paper that is currently in press (but not yet available online):
Ireland, M., McLeod, S., Farquharson, K., & Crowe, K. (2020, in press June). Evaluating children in U.S. public schools with speech sound disorders: Considering federal and state laws, guidance, and research. Topics in Language Disorders. https://doi.org/10.1097/TLD.0000000000000226
