Articulation disorders are speech problems that make it difficult for a person to pronounce certain sounds correctly. This can lead to unclear speech, where others may struggle to understand what is being said. Children are often the ones affected, but adults can also experience these issues. Common examples include substituting one sound for another, omitting sounds, or distorting them. These disorders can arise from various factors, such as hearing loss, developmental delays, or physical issues with the mouth and throat. Speech therapy is a common treatment, helping individuals improve their speech clarity and communication skills.
