Final Consonant Deletion
Typical age when final consonant deletion resolves itself:
3
Final Consonant Deletion is the phonological process where a child eliminates the final consonant from a word.
Examples of backing include:
- “toe” for “toad”
- “cuh” for “cup”
- “dah” for “dog”
It is common for all children to make theses errors; however, if the final consonant deletion errors persist after the child is around 3 years old, you may want to consult a school / local Speech-Language Pathologist to see if they qualify for services.
