Speech and Language Disorders

Speech or articulation problems are caused by a physical problem with the mouth. You know what you want to say and how to say it, but the mouth doesn't move in the right way or at the right time. It can make a person sound garbled. Children who stutter and people with rough, hoarse, or nasal voices all have speech problems.

A language disorder is when the person cannot come up with the right words to say or cannot understand what another person is saying.

At the Center for Disabilities and Development, we offer an Augmentative and Communication Service where we can diagnose and work with people who may have speech and language problem.
