Dyslalia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Dyslalia is a speech disorder in which the person, especially during childhood, has difficulty correctly articulating certain sounds or substitutes, omits, or distorts them.
How it presents: It can be noticed when pronouncing specific sounds, which sometimes makes speech hard to understand for those who are not around the child every day.
Factors that may play a role: These include articulation habits, hearing difficulties, or aspects of language development.
Who to see? The speech-language pathologist and audiology specialists are key to evaluating speech and hearing; the pediatrician and professionals in educational psychology or psychology support the process. If you have doubts about how a child speaks, it is worthwhile to seek an early evaluation with an appropriate professional.
