Speech sound disorder entities

Clinic

It is an umbrella term referring to any difficulty or combination of difficulties with perception, motor production, or phonological representation of speech sounds and speech segments—including phonotactic rules governing permissible speech sound sequences in a language.

It s involves difficulty in producing specific speech sounds (most often certain consonants, such as /s/ or /r/), and is subdivided into

• Articulation disorders / Phonetic disorders which are characterized by difficulty learning to produce sounds physically. They may lisp, so that "s" sounds like "th". They may not be able to produce a particular sound e.g. they can't make the "r" sound, and say 'wabbit' instead of 'rabbit'.
• Phonemic disorders that are characterized by difficulty in learning the sound distinctions of a language, so that one sound may be used in place of many.
• Note: Maybe someone have a mixed speech sound disorder with both phonemic and phonetic components.
