Phonological Disorders
Phonological Disorders refer to difficulties or impairments in a person's ability to accurately produce speech sounds. This can manifest as substitutions, omissions, distortions, or additions of sounds in words, making speech difficult to understand. These disorders can impact a person's communication skills and ability to effectively express themselves verbally. Phonological Disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, including developmental delays, neurological conditions, hearing loss, or structural issues in the mouth or throat. Treatment for Phonological Disorders may involve speech therapy to help improve speech sound production and overall communication abilities.
