Speech disorders can result from a wide variety of things, including hearing loss, neurological disorders, brain injury, mental retardation, drug abuse, physical impairments such as cleft lip and palate, and vocal abuse or misuse.
Similarly, a variety of different disorders exist. They are typically understood as being either “speech” disorders or “language” disorders. “Speech” disorders occur when a person is unable to produce speech sounds correctly or fluently, or has problems with his or her voice. “Language” disorders occur when a person has trouble understanding others (receptive language), or sharing thoughts, ideas, and feelings completely (expressive language).
