An articulation disorder is a type of speech impairment in which persons struggle to produce particular sounds. One sound being substituted for another, slurred speech, or insulting speech make up the majority of it. Simply said, articulation is the process of creating speech sounds by specifically manipulating articulators to convey thoughts. Speech sounds are the building blocks of words and are unique to each language. But when a youngster makes sounds with inappropriate articulator positioning, pressure, coordination, or timing, articulation dysfunction manifests. It produces a distorted sound, which strongly implies a problem with speech sound. A sound can be misarticulated in a number of ways, such as by substitutions, distortions, additions, and deletions.
