If you’re the only one who understands your child… this matters.

How much of your child’s speech should you understand? 👇

A simple guideline SLP’s use shows that parents/caregivers and familiar listeners should understand the following amount of speech at these ages:

👉 By age 2: 50% of what they say should be understood
👉 By age 3: 75%
👉 By age 4: 100%

(McLeod & Crowe, 2018)

Speech clarity should improve a lot between ages 3–4. And when it doesn’t, many parents are told to wait.

But what I see all the time is:
The longer we wait, the harder the speech errors are to change.

Early support doesn’t just help speech—it helps confidence, frustration, and communication overall.

You don’t need to wait for someone else to say something.
If you’re noticing it, that’s enough 🤍

Welcome Bailey to the Chit Chat Speech Therapy team! ✨

Bailey was born and raised in Saskatchewan. She completed her Master of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Alberta in 2025. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a minor in Psychology and a Certificate in Sustainability from the University of Alberta in 2022. Bailey is a registered Provisional Speech-Language Pathologist with the College of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists of Saskatchewan (CSASK) and a member of Speech-Language & Audiology Canada (SAC).

Bailey enjoys supporting pediatric clients from toddlers to school aged children. Her primary areas of interest include early language development, speech sound disorders, and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). She is passionate about providing neurodiversity-affirming care and values supporting each child’s unique communication style, strengths, and needs.

Bailey’s approach to therapy is evidence based, child-led, and grounded in play. She focuses her therapy to be functional in ways that are meaningful to each child and welcomes all modalities of commination. Bailey further strives to create a safe and welcoming environment where children can be themselves, learn, and grow in ways that feel authentic to them. She places a strong emphasis on connection and collaboration with families and aims to be a supportive partner throughout each child’s communication journey.

Outside of work, Bailey enjoys all things outdoors from hiking to gardening and spending time with her family and friends.

Bailey has been with us since September and we are so grateful to experience the knowledge, dedication and compassion she brings to her clients and our team! 😊

✨ Does your child say “tea” for “key” or “dough” for “go”? This is called fronting—a phonological pattern where front sounds (/t, d/) replace back sounds (/k, g/).

By age 3.5–4, kids should grow out of this pattern. If your child is still making these errors beyond the expected age, a speech-language pathologist (SLP) can help! 💬

Early support can make a big difference in helping your child be understood. 💕 Send us a message or fill out the intake form on our website—we’d love to connect with you! We have a few consistent spots still open for new clients, so reach out today to secure your time! 😊

✨ Choosing the right therapy approach matters! ✨

For children with speech sound disorders, diagnosis drives intervention. This means the therapy approach should be based on your child’s specific type of speech sound disorder, using evidence-based therapy approaches designed for that disorder. 💡

The 3 main types are:
🔹 Articulation Disorders – distortions and substitutions in the production of individual speech sounds (frontal lisp, lateral lisp, and /r/ errors)
🔹 Phonological Disorders –predicable patterned based errors that affect more than one sound/classes of sounds (e.g., fronting- back sounds are produced at the front- “tup” for cup or “dough” for “go.”)
🔹 Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)/Motor Speech Disorders – difficulty planning and coordinating the motor movements required to produce clear speech.

Your child’s SLP should be able to explain:
🔹 What type of speech sound disorder your child presents with
🔹 The therapy approach they’re using—and why

When the right match is made, kids make quicker, stronger, and lasting progress. 💬❤️
