Speech Intelligibility Expectations

Did you know that children’s speech intelligibility can be classified into the following age groups? Is your child speaking unclearly to familiar and unfamiliar listeners? Quite frankly, it could be developmentally appropriate depending on their chronological age. Check out my chart below for corresponding age to intelligibility levels.

19 – 24 months 25-50% intelligibility

2 – 3 years 50-75% intelligibility

4 – 5 years 75-90% intelligibility

5+ years 90-100% intelligibility
