Dyslalia

Dyslalia is an articulation disorder in which the patient uses vocabulary correctly, but pronounces some sounds incorrectly (tongue-tied). Dyslalia is a characteristic symptom of a speech defect acquired by children who have suffered from aphasia since childhood.



Dyslalia is an articulation disorder that results in incorrect pronunciation of sounds. This may be due to speech development defects such as aphasia, which is a disorder in the ability to speak and understand speech. Dyslalia can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, neurological disorders and social factors.

Dyslalia usually appears in early childhood and may be associated with delayed speech development. Children with dyslalia may have trouble pronouncing sounds such as “r”, “l”, “sh”, “z” and others. They may also have difficulty pronouncing words that contain these sounds.

One of the most common symptoms of dyslalia is tongue-tiedness, which occurs when a child pronounces sounds incorrectly. For example, a child may say “folder” instead of “dad” or “belly” instead of “animal”.

Treatment for dyslalia may include speech therapy sessions that are aimed at improving the pronunciation of sounds and words. Special exercises can also be used to develop articulatory motor skills.

Despite the fact that dyslalia is not a serious disease, it can have a negative impact on the child’s social adaptation. Therefore, it is important to begin treatment as early as possible to help the child overcome this speech impediment and achieve success in life.



Dyslalia is a pronunciation disorder, a disturbance in the reproduction of sounds, words or phrases.

Typically, this term refers to incorrect pronunciation and slurred speech perception. The cause of the defect is most often diseases such as logoneurosis and aphasia. In some cases, dyslalia is an individual feature (specificity) of the formation of speech skills. In any case, the definition of “dysarthria” is of a “reverse” nature - speech is unclear, blurry. Typically, pronunciation defects are corrected in childhood, but even adults can face the problem of dyslalia. To diagnose a disease in a child, you usually do not need a medical diploma: it is enough to observe his facial expressions and actions, pronunciation, and the presence of stuttering. Parents make diagnoses based on whether their child uses any letters incorrectly, too quickly or in the opposite direction of what is considered correct, or not all the letters. In addition, noticeable changes in pronunciation or tension when communicating with others can also be signs of speech dyslalia. As a rule, due to the lack of medical education, people often attach undue importance to their findings, demanding a diagnosis as soon as possible, while parental assumptions about the condition of dysarthria rarely lead to a cure. Most often, people with such a speech defect have impaired pronunciation of consonants and hissing sounds “sh”, “sch”, “s”, “z”, and involuntary sounds such as “l”, “r”, “ts”. Insufficient development of motor skills during the development of speech contributes to the appearance of defects - due to little experience in articulatory activity, pronunciation is not sufficiently correct.
