Adult neurogenic speech, language and swallowing disorders
Articulation
Articulation Speech Disorder is a communication disorder where an individual has difficulty pronouncing certain sounds correctly. These challenges can lead to speech that is unclear and difficult to understand. Articulation disorders are common in children but can also occur in adults due to various reasons such as injury, neurological conditions, or developmental delays.
Individuals with articulation disorders might
- Replace one sound for another (For example, speaking “wabbit” rather than “rabbit”).
- Omit sounds (e.g., saying “ca” instead of “cat”).
- Add extra sounds or distort sounds in speech.
- Have difficulty with speech rhythm and intonation.
Who May Need Treatment for Articulation Speech Disorder?
Articulation disorders can affect anyone, but they are most commonly identified in young children as they develop speech and language skills. Treatment may be necessary for:
- Children: Young children who have difficulty being understood by peers or family members, or who show signs of frustration when communicating, might benefit from speech therapy.
- Adults: Adults who have developed speech issues due to stroke, head injury, neurological disorders, or other medical conditions may also require treatment.
- Professionals: Individuals in professions that require clear and precise communication, such as teachers, broadcasters, and public speakers, may seek treatment to enhance their articulation skills.
