WHAT IS A SPEECH DISORDER? Go to WHAT IS A LANGUAGE DISORDER? Although some children are precocious in the acquisition of speech and may be able to produce understandable speech by the time they are 30 months of age, in some children, it is not uncommon for one or two speech sounds to remain "unlearned" until 72 months of age. By the time a child is 48 months old, however, she should be speaking well enough to be understood all of the time. See Speech and Language Milestones Checklists As the child matures from the babbling baby to the competent speaker, she eliminates from her speech the babbled sounds which are not common to her environment, making judgments based on listener feedback to select patterns of speech which are continually fine tuned and eventually generalized. The child unwittingly learns to pair, and then group, speech sounds which share characteristics. For example, /t/ and /d/, are paired because they are both produced when by the tongue tip strikes the hard palate behind the teeth and produces a little explosion of air. Though made in the back of the mouth with the soft palate raised to strike the back throat wall, /k/ and /g/ are grouped with /t/ and /d/ because of the explosion of air resulting when they are made. Besides such groupings of speech sounds, the child also learns that words have shapes made of consonant and vowel sounds and these sounds are patterned in certain ways.

Conditions and Diagnoses Articulation (Speech) Disorder Communication Disorders Feeding or Swallowing Disorder (Dysphagia) Language Disorder Stuttering (Disfluency) ... Overview Conditions and Diagnoses Articulation (Speech) Disorder Related Services Speech Pathology An articulation (speech) disorder is characterized by difficulty with the physical production of individual speech sounds. There may be incorrect placement of the lips, teeth, tongue or even the soft palate during speech, resulting in inaccurate production of certain sounds. In children, it is important to compare speech production with other children the same age. Speech sounds develop gradually over time, but most sounds should be correctly produced by the age of 3, and all sounds should be correctly produced by the age of 6. When an articulation disorder is identified, treatment in the form of speech therapy is needed. Without treatment, social and vocational consequences often result. Cause In many cases, there is not a clearly identifiable, structural or physiological reason for the problem. However, some causes include brain damage or neurological dysfunction, a history of cleft palate, or hearing loss. Control of the articulators may be affected by weakness or lack of coordination of the movements of the mouth.
