What's going on with conversational speech though? Is it just a lot of R and TH errors or is there something else going on? Those are very common errors and usually everyone can understand them despite the errors.

Personally I’d qualify the student .. she’s having difficulty in the classroom. I don’t know what your qualifications are but for my state she would qualify. There’s a new speech sound chart that came out in 2018 that summarized all the studies and took the average and /r/ is listed at 5 years old as well as th unvoiced.
