Dyslalia

Dyslalia is a type of speech disorder characterized by difficulty pronouncing words or speaking fluently. It can affect children or adults and is often caused by a problem with the muscles or nerves involved in speech production. Dyslalia can make it challenging for individuals to be understood and can cause feelings of frustration, embarrassment, or low self-esteem.

Common symptoms of dyslalia include substituting sounds within words, omitting sounds, or distorting them. For example, someone with dyslalia might say “wabbit” instead of “rabbit” or “sickle” instead of “pickle”. In some cases, dyslalia can lead to miscommunication or misunderstandings in social, academic, or professional settings. However, with the help of speech therapy, many individuals with dyslalia can improve their communication skills and increase their confidence.
