This week we are dropping this special episode where my roommate, Molly McGuire and I discuss the phonological processes: cluster reductions, fronting, labialization (yes, we had a hard time pronouncing it too) and more! This episode is great for parents of toddlers and preschoolers to help understand what sounds we expect kiddos to be making, undergrads, grads, and those who need a refresher! We had so much fun recording this episode, and I hope you all enjoy.

This is a special episode where I go through a variety of common, and uncommon speech-language pathology acronyms.
