OUR APPROACH TO IDENTIFYING AND MANAGING STUTTERING DISORDER IN CHILDREN
Articulation Disorder
An articulation disorder is a speech sound disorder in which a child has difficulty making certain sounds correctly. Sounds may be omitted or improperly altered during the course of speech. A child may substitute sounds (“wabbit” instead of “rabbit”) or add sounds improperly to words.
Young children will typically display articulation issues as they learn to speak, but they are expected to “grow out of it” by a certain age. If the errors persist past a standard developmental age, which varies based on the sound, then that child has an articulation disorder.
The role of a speech therapist
In articulation therapy, the speech therapist does the necessary screening. A child undergoing such treatment needs to know all the sounds, including the vowel and consonant sounds in a connected speech or in words. After assessing the sounds, the speech therapist would choose the appropriate target word. They will also elicit the sound and use a reasonable approach. Besides, therapists would work through the traditional articulation hierarchy unless the child can comfortably utilize the sound in everyday
The therapist generally starts from the bottom of the hierarchy and works their way are:
•Sound in isolation
•Sound in syllable
•Sound in the different word positions
•Sound in sentences
•Sound in reading
•Sound in conversation
•Generalization
Science and symptoms of an articulation disorder
It may be challenging to understand the emerging problem of articulation disorder in a child. However, if the child exhibits one of a few of these four types of articulation error, you must understand that the child is facing articulation difficulties. These errors include:
Addition
If the child tends to add syllables or sounds that do not belong in the word, they face articulation difficulties.
Distortion
When the child tends to change a sound that seems like a lisp, one must understand that the child is going through articulation difficulties.
Omission
Difficulties can also occur when a child leaves out a sound from the speech altogether.
Substitution
If the child substitutes one sound for another, this behaviour constitutes articulation disorder.
The behaviour of the child with an articulation disorder
When a child becomes too conscious of the articulation disorder, they will display a specific behaviour. Some of the behaviour traits include:
Become quiet or excessively shy
Stop the usage of certain words
Avoid reading or speaking in public
Struggle with self-esteem or confidence
Become frustrated while speaking
