Articulation and Phonological
Delays and Disorders

Articulation Delays and Disorders:

Children with articulation delays or disorders may have trouble pronouncing certain sounds correctly. This can lead to speech that’s harder to understand, with mistakes like replacing one sound with another, leaving sounds out, or distorting them. 

 

Phonological Disorders:

Children with phonological disorders may make patterns of mistakes with groups of sounds, rather than just individual ones. For example, they might replace certain sounds or leave them out entirely. These types of errors are more about how they organize and use sounds in language, rather than how they physically produce the sounds with their mouth.
