Specialty Areas
Phonological Disorder
A phonological disorder is a speech sound disorder that is characterized by predictable, rule-based error patterns that affect more than one sound (e.g., deleting final consonants in words). Many children with a phonological disorder are highly unintelligible and parent often have to "interpret" what their child is saying. Phonological treatment targets a group of sounds with similar error patterns rather than individual sounds.
Articulation Disorder
An articulation disorder is a speech sound disorder that focuses on errors, such as distortions and substitutions, when producing individual speech sounds (e.g., producing "w" for "r"). Articulation treatment targets each individual sound error.
