Are you or your child struggling with unclear speech? It could be an articulation or phonetic issue.
What are Articulation and Phonetic Disorders?
Articulation disorders involve difficulties in producing speech sounds correctly. Phonetic issues occur when sounds are mispronounced, substituted, or distorted, making speech unclear or hard to understand.
Common examples include:
- Saying "wabbit" instead of "rabbit."
- Omitting sounds like "ca" for "cat."
- Substituting sounds, such as "f" for "th," leading to words like "fink" instead of "think."
These errors can affect daily communication and may cause frustration or impact self-esteem.
Signs of Articulation or Phonetic Disorders
Here are some signs that may indicate an articulation or phonetic disorder:
- Unclear Speech: Difficulty being understood by others, even family membersage.
- Sound Substitutions: Using one sound in place of another (e.g., “tup” for “cup”).
- Distorted Sounds: Speech sounds that don’t come out clearly (e.g., lisping on “s” sounds).
- Sound Omissions: Leaving out sounds in words (e.g., “ca” instead of “cat”).
If these signs persist beyond typical developmental milestones, it may be time to seek professional evaluation at *SPASHT*.
