What We Treat
Articulation
A type of speech sound disorder involving difficulty with the motor production (physical articulation) of speech sounds. Examples: a child has a lisp or distorts an /r/ sound.
Phonology
A type of speech sound disorder involving patterns of sound errors, such as substituting, omitting, or simplifying sounds.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
A pediatric speech sound disorder where precision and consistency of movements underlying speech are impaired, without neuromuscular deficits. This makes it difficult for children to speak and learn the complex sequenced movements necessary for clear speech.
Dysarthria
A motor speech disorder caused by neurological damage that results in weak, paralyzed, or uncoordinated speech muscles. It can cause slow, slurred, choppy, breathy, hoarse, or monotone speech.
Your child may have a speech sound disorder if they frequently mispronounce sounds or are difficult to understand when they're speaking.
