Speech is one of the main ways in which people communicate their thoughts, feelings, and ideas with others. It is the process of producing specific sounds that convey meaning to the listener. A speech disorder refers to any condition that affects a person’s ability to produce sounds that create words. One of the most commonly experienced speech disorders is stuttering. Other speech disorders include apraxia and dysarthria. Speech disorders prevent people from forming correct speech sounds. The symptoms of speech disorders vary widely depending on the cause and severity of the disorder. People can develop multiple speech disorders with different symptoms. The type of treatment will typically depend on the severity of the speech disorder and its underlying cause. Treatment options can include: speech therapy exercises that focus on building familiarity with certain words or sounds and physical exercises that focus on strengthening the muscles that produce speech sounds.
