About

Clear speech makes a big difference in how children connect and communicate. At Bjorem Speech®, we provide tools that help kids master the precise movements needed to produce individual speech sounds clearly and confidently. Articulation is the motor production of individual speech sounds using the lips, tongue, jaw, teeth, and other oral structures. When a child has an articulation disorder, they may know the word they want to say but produce it incorrectly due to errors like substitutions, omissions, additions, or distortions (ASHA, 2023a). Examples of articulation errors include: Substitutions – saying “wabbit” for “rabbit” Omissions – saying “ca” for “cat” Additions – saying “buhlack” for “black” Distortions – producing a lisped /s/ sound Articulation disorders can significantly affect how well a child is understood, potentially impacting social interaction, academic success, and self-confidence. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, articulation disorders are a type of speech sound disorder (SSD) that may occur in isolation or alongside other communication challenges (ASHA, 2023a).
