Speech-sound Disorders

Speech-sound disorders involve difficulties producing speech sounds correctly, affecting a child’s clarity and intelligibility. These can include articulation disorders (trouble making certain sounds) and phonological disorders (patterns of sound errors).

Concerns:

  • Mispronouncing sounds (e.g., “wabbit” for “rabbit”).
  • Omitting or substituting sounds in words.
  • Difficulty being understood by peers or adults, which can affect social interaction.

How We Can Help:

  • Targeted exercises to improve sound production and clarity.
  • Visual and auditory cues to support learning correct pronunciation.
  • Structured activities to generalize skills into everyday communication.

  • Collaborative: We work closely with parents, caregivers, teachers, and other professionals to ensure therapy is consistent across home, school, and community environments.
  • Flexible: Therapy is offered in the office, at home, or at school, depending on what best supports the child’s engagement and progress.
