What are speech disorders?

Speech disorders are of various types:

• Articulation disorders include difficulties in producing sounds in syllables or saying words incorrectly to the point that listeners cannot understand what's being said.
• Fluency disorders: these problems include stuttering, in which the flow of speech is interrupted by abnormal stoppages, partial-word repetitions ("b-b-boy"), or prolonged sounds and syllables (sssssnake).
• Voice or Resonance disorders: these disorders include problems with pitch, volume, or quality of voice that distracts listeners from what is being said. These types of disorders may cause pain or discomfort for a child when speaking.
