What is Initial Consonant Deletion?
Initial Consonant Deletion is the phonological process where a child eliminates the first consonant from a word.
Examples of backing include:
“og” for “dog”
“unny” for “funny”
“up” for “cup”
It is common for all children to make errors in speech as they are learning how to talk; however, the phonological process of initial consonant deletion is not typical. If your child is producing a lot of initial consonant deletion errors, you may want to consult a school / local Speech-Language Pathologist to see if they qualify for services.
Free no-prep, virtual, and downloadable options available!
Free SLP articulation word lists, flashcards with pictures, downloadable PDFs and more!
