A 5-year-old boy named Max has difficulty pronouncing certain sounds, such as "s," "sh," and "ch." He often replaces these sounds with "f" or "th," which makes it difficult for others to understand him. Max also struggles to pronounce longer words and phrases, and he tends to avoid speaking in public because of his speech difficulties. Max's parents have noticed his speech difficulties since he was 3 years old, but they thought it was just a phase that he would outgrow. However, as Max is now starting school, his parents are concerned that his speech difficulties may affect his social interactions and academic performance. What could be the diagnosis made?
