Speech Sound Disorders
Addressing all factors impacting intelligibility through specialized articulation and phonological therapy.
About This Program
Speech Sound Disorder (SSD) is an umbrella term that encompasses several disorders of speech sound production, including phonological disorders, articulation disorders, apraxia of speech, and dysarthria.
Individuals with a speech sound disorder often become frustrated due to the lack of listener's understanding in everyday speech, which can negatively affect communication in both the home and community.
We have a passion to find the root cause of the issue and design effective programs that will result in better speaking and listener intelligibility. Our therapists are trained to address all the factors impacting intelligibility, or the degree to which one is understood by others.
