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
• Fix the articulation disorder of your child
• The Speech and language pathologist of kickstart
  therapy would recommend speech therapy to correct
  the problem of articulation disorder. They offer
  convenient 11 sessions to the patient. Apart
  from that, tailored activities and exercise can
  help every child to improve their condition of
  articulation disorder.
