An articulation disorder is a speech sound disorder in which a child has difficulty making certain sounds correctly.
Sounds may be omitted or improperly altered during the course of speech. A child may substitute sounds (“wabbit” instead of “rabbit”) or add sounds improperly to words. Young children will typically display articulation issues as they learn to speak, but they are expected to “grow out of it” by a certain age. If the errors persist past a standard developmental age, which varies based on the sound, then that child has an articulation disorder.
also called stammering or childhood-onset fluency disorder — is a speech disorder that involves frequent and significant problems with normal fluency and flow of speech.
People who stutter know what they want to say, but have difficulty saying it. For example, they may repeat or prolong a word, a syllable, or a consonant or vowel sound. Or they may pause during speech because they’ve reached a problematic word or sound.
Traumatic brain injury, often referred to as TBI, is most often an acute event similar to other injuries.
The ability to understand spoken language involves not only the ability of the ear to detect sounds, but also the ability of the brain to recognize, interpret, and use the acoustic information in our environment.
