Understanding Speech Sound Disorders

A speech sound disorder (SSD) is a condition where an individual, typically a child, has difficulty producing speech sounds correctly, making their speech hard to understand. This may involve difficulty producing certain sounds, substituting one sound for another, or omitting sounds entirely. Such challenges can make it hard for others to understand what a child is trying to say, impacting their confidence and communication with peers, teachers, and family members. While these disorders can vary in severity, early intervention is key to addressing them effectively.
