What are Articulation Disorders?

Articulation disorders focus on errors (e.g., distortions and substitutions) in production of individual speech sounds. It is often difficult to cleanly differentiate between articulation and phonological disorders; therefore, many researchers and clinicians prefer to use the broader term, "speech sound disorder," when referring to speech errors of unknown cause.
