Is your child hard to understand when they speak?
Speech sound disorders occur when children have difficulty producing speech sounds correctly or using sounds appropriately within words. This can affect how clearly a child is understood by others.
Some children may find it difficult to make certain sounds, substitute one sound for another, leave sounds out, or use sounds in the wrong place within words. These difficulties may involve articulation (how sounds are made) or phonology (how sounds are organised).
Speech sound difficulties can be frustrating for children and may impact confidence, social interaction and participation at nursery or school.
Speech and language therapy involves assessing which sounds a child finds difficult and why. Therapy focuses on improving speech clarity using structured, age-appropriate activities, with guidance for parents to support practice at home.
