Phonology
Our four year old had her first one hour phonology class on April 15th.
Her articulation is a bit delayed - she drops ending sounds and makes some substitutions. This combination makes it very hard to understand what she is trying to say. Because of the frustration she and the rest of the family has had over this, we had her tested. And, she's now receiving services from our public school system (for now it's just the group session).
My husband dropped her off for that first class and I picked her up. We both experienced some strong emotions - she's our first to "go off to school". I'm sure I'll experience many more emotions when the older two start school in August.
The teacher said our little girl did well and she was the "star student". We shall see how next Tuesday goes.

Ashley had speech classes at the local public school last year for half of the year and this year until mid-March. Her teacher this year then went on maternity leave, and we didn't see the point in continuing. She is at an age-appropriate level now anyway. Working with her at home certainly helped more than just the 30 minutes, once a week with the speech teacher did, but it gave us confidence that we were working on the right things and that she would be okay, not to mention that it let us know that she the sounds she still has difficulty with are age-appropriate ones now and she's not "behind".
We don't plan on sending her back. We'd go the private tutor route if needed again because of some other issues involved. :o)
I hope it helps for your little girl!
