Speech sound disorders occur when a child has difficulty producing sounds correctly, making it challenging for others to understand them. These disorders can impact a child’s ability to communicate effectively and may affect their confidence, social interactions, and academic success.

Articulation Disorders – Difficulty with the physical production of sounds and motor speech abilities resulting in distorted or errored sounds.

Phonological Disorders – Patterns of sound errors that affect entire groups of sounds (e.g., leaving off final consonants: saying "ca" instead of "cat").

Common Signs of a Speech Sound Disorder:

• Difficulty pronouncing certain sounds.
• Speech that is unclear, even to family members.
• Frequent substitutions, omissions, or distortions of sounds.
• Difficulty being understood by peers or teachers.
