Today, I will show you how a sufferer "speech-sound disorder" is.

Those children with speech sound disorder have difficulty forming speech sounds
articulating individual sounds, being understood, modulating speech and they may stutter
or lisp.

What is it?
Speech sound disorder is a communication disorder characterized by persistent difficulties in
producing speech sounds. It can involve phonological problems (difficulties producing
particular sounds or strings of sounds), problems controlling different parts of the vocal
apparatus (such as the lungs or larynx), problems with the timing of speech, or difficulties
with speech such as stuttering or lisping. Children with speech sound disorder do not have
problems understanding language itself. Rather, they have difficulties expressing language in
speech sounds at an age-appropriate level.
In general, if other people, such as teachers and peers, have a difficult time understanding
what a child is trying to say, he may have the disorder. Speech sound disorder is usually
present from early childhood, though symptoms can be manifest later, as well.

There is evidence that speech sound disorder clusters in families; a childs risk of having the
disorder increases with each family member who has it.

This guide outlines how speech sound disorder is identified in children and how it's
diagnosed and treated.

How do we diagnose it?

Speech sound disorder is diagnosed when a childs speech sound production is not whats
expected based on his age and developmental stage. A child who may have the disorder
should be evaluated buy a speech and language pathologist, who will administer standardized
tests to gage his specific deficits.

How is the treatment?

As shown in this video, speech therapy is usually helpful. In speech therapy, children learn
how to create and differentiate between certain sounds. Certain milder forms of the disorder
have been known to disappear spontaneously.
Risk for Other Disorders
Because speech sound disorder can affect a childs ability to interact comfortably with other
children and build relationships, the disorder may be complicated by depression and social
anxiety.
