It generally entails speech that is unclear or insulting, or swapping one sound for another. Simply said, articulation is the process of creating speech sounds by specifically manipulating articulators in order to convey concepts. Each speech sound used to create words is unique to that language. However, articulation disorder happens when a child makes sounds with the articulators placed, pressed, timed, or coordinated incorrectly. It generates a distorted sound that strongly implies a problem with speech sound. There are many different ways to misarticulate a sound, such as substitutions, distortions, additions, and deletions. It's vital to remember that speech blunders are developmentally perfect, meaning that many kids make the same errors at the same developmental level.
