The following small speech sample is from Tara, age 7;7.
Which speech sound errors are noted in this sample?

The following small speech sample is from Tara, age 7;7.
Which sounds are substituted for the sounds in error?

The following small speech sample is from Tara, age 7;7.
Can any phonotactic restraints be noted in the correct
productions of “th” and “r”?

The following small speech sample is from Tara, age 7;7.
Based on this limited information, do you think the child
has an articulation disorder or a phonological disorder? Why?

Some young children have trouble producing [s] and [z]; they
substitute [θ] and [ð] for these sounds. Thus, the word Sue would be
pronounced [θu] and zoo as [ðu]. Compare the two articulations and see
whether you might be able to describe to a child of age 6 what he or she would
have to do to change the articulation from [θ] and [ð] to [s] to [z].
