The need to know whether a problem has persisted for at least 1 year before determining a diagnosis is not typically relevant for speech sound disorders like substituting the /y/ sound for the /j/ sound. Age, dialect, and bilingualism are more relevant factors to consider in diagnosing speech sound disorders.
