DISORDERS

Speech Sound Disorders is an umbrella for a variety of production concerns.

 Articulation is the process by which sounds are made using your articulators: vocal folds (cords), teeth, tongue, lips, cheeks, jaw and palates (hard and soft) to alter the air stream from the lungs.

Sounds develop by age; however, all sounds should be produced correctly by age 6. Sound substitutions, distortions, additions, and omissions cause a person to have an articulation disorder/delay.

Sounds are made in error take away from the speaker's message.

The cause, or etiology, is not known.

Considered motor-based.

omissions/deletions--certain sounds are omitted or deleted (e.g., "cu" for "cup" and "poon" for "spoon")

substitutions--one or more sounds are substituted, which may result in loss of phonemic contrast (e.g., "thing" for "sing" and "wabbit" for "rabbit")

additions--one or more extra sounds are added or inserted into a word (e.g., "buhlack" for "black")

distortions--sounds are altered or changed (e.g., a lateral "s")
