Kids speaking issue
My 5.6 year old son is not very clear in speaking. Is it a matter of concern? Which doctor should I visit for him. Do I need to go for a speech therapy, what is the process for it.

If you have checked hearing and no issues. Contact speech therapist. Look for any tongue tie... A neurological examination  is worthwhile.
