Articulation & Phonological Disorders

Articulation and phonological disorders are the most common reason families seek speech therapy. A speech-language pathologist works on producing sounds clearly (the /r/, /s/, /th/, /l/ sounds are typical targets) and on the patterns of sound use. Most SLPs in general practice treat articulation — it is a foundational competency.
