Articulation disorders and it's impact on children's pronounciation

Abstract

Communicational abilities are something that is taken for granted; however, some children have serious difficulties in developing their speech, which in turn can affect their ability to express themselves and develop a relationship with others. There are different types of articulation disorders. This paper focuses on identifying the most common speech disabilities among children, the main reasons behind them, and the possible treatment of such impairment. This study aims to explore the impact of articulation disorders. The study deals with children aged 3–5 years old, who are randomly chosen from different regions in Mostaganem city. To accomplish such aims, we choose a reliable instrument such as a questionnaire. The key findings of the study show that articulation disorders do not have a specific cause or an immediate treatment such as medicines, but treatment is based on practicing some exercises that are given to the toddlers to work on with their parents' contributions.
