Articulation Test

Articulation disorders involve difficulties in making specific sounds correctly, such as distortions or substitutions of consonants. In contrast, phonological disorders are characterized by patterns of sound errors that affect entire categories of speech sound disorder, sounds, or the rules of speech sound use.

Parents can improve their children’s articulation skills by reading together, practicing sounds fun and engaging, and providing positive feedback for their efforts and progress.

Most children outgrow articulation errors by age seven or eight, but this can vary based on the individual child and the nature of the speech disorder.
