Speech/Language/Communication Disorders
Articulation Disorder or Delay
Articulation Disorder or Delay exists when a child does not develop speech sounds or the ability to sequence speech sounds as expected for their chronological age. In some instances, children can be simply assisted to use their articulators (lips, tongue, jaw, teeth, tongue, hard and soft palate) correctly to produce the target sounds. Repetition tasks then reinforce the new target sounds. At times, these difficulties may be due to dysarthria, which is a generalized oral/facial muscle weakness. Oral motor exercises to strengthen and tone articulators assist with this difficulty.
