If your child presents with speech errors, a speech-language pathologist can conduct an evaluation to determine whether the errors are age-appropriate or not. [sensiblespeech.com]

PARENTAL SUGGESTIONS Present a good, slow speech model. Emphasize misarticulated words in phrases/sentences correctly. Have your child look closely at your face and mouth, when possible, so they can see how you form your sounds. [childrensal.org]

There are usually fewer errors than with a phonemic disorder, and distortions are more likely (though any omissions, additions, and substitutions may also be present). [en.wikipedia.org]

In conclusion, the present study showed that children with articulation disorder have heterogeneous phenotypes of speech and language profiles. About half the children with AD have developmental language problems as well. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Developmental Disorder

  Some of these disorders are related to hearing impairment, or cleft palate or other neural developmental disorders .And there are also some disorders which have no physical basis. They may be a part of a broader linguistic difficulty. [1specialplace.com]

  […] such as: developmental disorders (e.g. autism ) genetic disorders (e.g. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Keywords: Childhood, Articulation disorders, Developmental language disorders INTRODUCTION Communication disorders are one of the most common developmental disorders in children, with reported prevalence rates of 3%−20% [ 1, 2, 3 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hearing Impairment

• Hearing Problem

  Children with speech sound disorder have pronunciation difficulties inappropriate for their age, and the difficulties are not caused by hearing problems, congenital deformities, motor disorders or selective mutism. [2] The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria are [en.wikipedia.org]

• No Speech Development

  Omissions -- "op" for "top" Substitutions -- "tat" for "cat" Distortions -- sound produced inaccurately but resembles the actual sound DEVELOPMENT Production of speech sounds is based on development. [childrensal.org]

  Home conditions – Speech development is not fostered by a critical, demanding environment or by one which promotes overdependence Developmental History Physical development – Almost any factor that delays physical development also might retard speech. [1specialplace.com]

  Doctors and speech pathologists (puh-THOL-uh-jists) use a timeline of development to measure your child’s speech. They can tell how far behind a child might be in their speech development. [intermountainhealthcare.org]

  The term protracted phonological development is sometimes preferred when describing children's speech to emphasize the continuing development while acknowledging the delay. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Speech Disorder

  Furthermore, speech disorders are considered to be symptoms of an underlying language-learning problem, indicating an early intervention in articulation disorder (the most prevalent speech disorder) is very important [ 13 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  A speech sound disorder ( SSD ) is a speech disorder in which some speech sounds (called phonemes ) in a child's (or, sometimes, an adult's) language are either not produced, not produced correctly, or are not used correctly. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Dysarthria

  Articulation disorders should not be confused with motor speech disorders, such as dysarthria (in which there is actual paralysis of the speech musculature) or developmental verbal dyspraxia (in which motor planning is severely impaired). [en.wikipedia.org]

• Stroke

  And there can be children who have already mastered speech sounds, but may acquire articulation disorders due to stroke, head injury or other neurological disorder. [1specialplace.com]

However, there are only a few studies on articulation disorder overlapping with language delay; therefore, its assessment and prognosis remains unclear. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis is poorer for children who also have a language disorder, as that may be indicative of a learning disorder. [2] See also [ edit ] Accent (sociolinguistics) Developmental verbal dyspraxia FOXP2 KE family Infantile speech Speech and language pathology [en.wikipedia.org]

Although these disorders have varying organic etiologies, including structural, neurological, and auditory causes, the most common etiology is idiopathic [ 7 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Because what causes most articulation disorders in children is unknown, it is hard to prevent. Keep track of how your child is speaking, and talk to their doctor if you think they might have a speech articulation disorder. [intermountainhealthcare.org]

Therefore, to prevent long-term complications, precise as well as early intervention is required. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
