Today's video is all about phonological processes in toddlers learning to talk. Phonological processes may sound like errors, but they are actually expected patterns in toddler's speech. These processes occur because toddlers are still learning to pronounce many vowel and consonant sounds. We will talk about a common phonological processe that typically go away before age 3: final consonant deletion in this video    • Toddler leaving sounds off word endin...   . And some of these processes, including stopping, fronting, syllable deletion, cluster reduction, and gliding, persist past age 3.

Most of the time toddlers will grow out of these phonological processes on their own, however sometimes children require the support of a speech therapist to learn to put consonants and vowels together in new ways.
