Misarticulation

Misarticulation is a condition wherein the client’s production of the phonemes (letters) is incorrect in the sense that either that sound is substituted by another, distorted, omitted, or any other sound may be added.

Misarticulations can be caused by physical aspects of the oral structures.

Whereas, in absence of such causes it usually is just faulty learning.

Age is also a factor, as with age the articulation skills develop. Misarticulation is only considered when the age of attainment of a particular phoneme has crossed but there are still errors observed.

Regular Speech Therapy can help overcome these errors.
