Articulation Errors

They are difficulties in producing speech sounds correctly, making it challenging for others to understand.

They can affect various sounds, but common ones include:

• • /r/ (wabbit for rabbit)
  • /s/ (thun for sun)
  • /l/ (yello for yellow)
  • /th/ (fing for thing)
  • /sh/ (seep for sheep)

Causes of articulation errors:

• Structural issues: Problems with the teeth, tongue, palate, or other oral structures.
• Neurological disorders: Cerebral palsy, stroke, or other conditions affecting the brain’s ability to control speech muscles.
• Hearing loss: Difficulty hearing sounds correctly can lead to articulation errors.
• Developmental delays: Some children simply take longer to develop speech skills.

Treatment for articulation errors:

• Speech therapy: Focused on helping individuals learn to produce sounds correctly.
• Oral motor exercises: Strengthening the muscles involved in speech production.
• Hearing aids or other assistive devices: If hearing loss is contributing to the problem.
