What Are The Types Of Language Disorders In Children?
Stuttering
Stuttering is a speech disorder that disrupts the natural rhythm or flow of speech. This may involve hesitating, blocking silence, and repeating sounds, syllables, words, or phrases. It usually starts between the ages of 2 and 5 years.
Although most children recover naturally from stuttering, it is impossible to tell who will get better independently and who will need therapy. If a child stutters for several years, it can be dangerous even if natural recovery occurs without therapy. For this reason, therapy is recommended for all preschoolers who start to stutter.
Articulation disorders
A child with an articulation disorder has problems forming sounds and forming certain speech sounds correctly. For example, they can whisper so the "s" sounds like "th". You may not be able to produce certain sounds, such as using the sound "r" and saying "wabbit" instead of "bunny".
Phonological disorder
A child with a phonological disorder may produce sounds correctly but use them in the wrong places. For example, you could use the 'd' sound in go to make it sound like 'doe'.
Phonological disorder is associated with ongoing language and reading problems. If your child has phonological disorder, it is important to seek treatment. Visit Tomatis® Australia for speech therapy in Australia.
