  4. Articulation Articulation is the process of physically producing speech. That might seem easy enough, right? Articulation involves the complicated coordination of lips, tongue, teeth, top of the mouth(palate), and jaw to produce sounds. Even your lungs play an important part in articulation! All of these physical forces, also called motor functions, combine to form syllables, words, sounds—speech. Articulation is vital to how we communicate through speaking. Sales

  5. Social Language Children with a social language disorder might • 01 • Seem inappropriate, perhaps laughing at a sad event • Miss parts of a conversation that has a lot of metaphors, sarcasm, or other non-literal meaning. • Have difficulty adjusting their conversations for different settings Difficulty using language socially which includes • 02 • understanding the environment • reading non-verbal cues • understanding nonliteral language such as jokes and sarcasm

  6. Apraxia of Speech Apraxia of speech—also known as childhood apraxia of speech (CAS)—is a disorder in which a child has difficulty performing the actual physical movements to produce coherent speech. In general, children with CAS have a good understanding of language and know what they want to say, but are often unable to say it. Apraxia is a neurological condition, and though a child might have the cognitive language capacity to talk, mixed signals between the brain and muscles make it difficult for the child to coordinate correct speech sound movements.
