Speech Sound Disorders

Speech sound disorders affect a child’s ability to pronounce words clearly, making it difficult for others to understand them. Some children may substitute, omit, or distort sounds, while others struggle with patterns of speech errors that impact their overall intelligibility. These challenges can affect confidence, social interactions, and academic success.

Speech therapy helps children learn to produce sounds correctly through structured, play-based, and evidence-based techniques. Therapy may focus on teaching correct tongue and lip placement, improving sound patterns, and increasing overall speech clarity. With targeted support, children can develop clear, confident communication skills.
