Speech Sound Disorder is a communication condition where individuals have difficulty producing sounds correctly, which can affect their ability to speak clearly. This disorder can manifest as problems with articulation, where certain sounds are omitted, distorted, or substituted, making speech hard to understand. It can occur in children and may persist into adulthood if not addressed. The causes of Speech Sound Disorder can vary and may include factors such as hearing loss, developmental delays, or neurological conditions. Early intervention through speech therapy is often recommended to help individuals improve their speech clarity and communication skills.
