Articulation Disorder / Child Apraxia of Speech
Articulation disorders are treated through a variety of approaches such as developmental approaches which forget individual phonemes in a developmental manner.
Depending on the nature and severity of the articulation disorder, other approaches that may be indicated are approaches that target oral motor sequencing for childhood apraxia of speech or the use of smart palate which targets phonemes that have not responded to traditional articulation therapy.
Issues with speech clarity/intelligibility
Leaving out consonants in words, ex: cu for cup
Substitution of consonants, ex: wun for run
Distortion of consonants, ex: tsun for sun
Difficulty producing sounds in the correct order in a word, ex pasketti for spaghetti
