Is it common for kids who have gone through speech therapy to wind up with slightly different speaking habits because of it?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46835points) January 14th, 2015

The 7 year old boy I watch after school went through speech therapy, and he ends most of his sentences with an “uh” sound at the end of the last word. “I put the pillow on the bed-uh.” “I pet the cat-uh.”
Well, he was taught to enunciate and I guess that stuck with him.

Is it an unusual side effect of speech therapy, or is it common?
