In the TICLS mnemonic, which component corresponds to the letter 'S'?

Explanation:
In TICLS, the letter S stands for Speech. This component checks the child’s ability to vocalize—whether they’re crying, talking, or otherwise producing speech sounds. Normal speech or crying suggests the airway is at least reasonably open and the neurologic status is relatively intact. Difficulties, absence of speech, or only moaning can indicate airway compromise, hypoxia, or neurologic impairment and signal the need for urgent intervention. The other parts map to Tone (muscle tone and posture), Interactiveness (response to people and environment), Look (facial expression and gaze), and Consolability (ease of soothing).
