Articulation and Phonological Disorders
Most children make some mistakes as they learn to say new words. A speech sound disorder occurs when mistakes continue past a certain age. Every sound has a different range of ages when the child should make the sound correctly. Speech sound disorders include problems with articulation (making sounds) and phonological processes (sound patterns).
Stuttering
Stuttering is a communication disorder in which the flow of speech is broken by repetitions (li-li-like this), prolongations (lllllike this), or abnormal stoppages (no sound) of sounds and syllables. There may also be unusual facial and body movements associated with the effort to speak. Stuttering is also referred to as stammering.
Apraxia of Speech is a motor speech disorder. People with Apraxia of speech have problems saying sounds, syllables, and words. This is not because of muscle weakness or paralysis. The brain has problems planning to move the body parts (e.g., lips, jaw, tongue) needed for speech. The person knows what he or she wants to say, but his/her brain has difficulty coordinating the muscle movements necessary to say those words. Children with apraxia are often extremely difficult to understand. Apraxia is often confused with other speech sound disorders and can only be diagnosed by a Speech Language Pathologist.

Receptive Language
