Articulation versus Phonology

Phonology is how children use and organize speech sounds to make words, while articulation is about how they physically produce individual sounds. A speech-language pathologist is the best professional to evaluation for articulation and phonological impairments. Early intervention is important and usually includes hearing screening and a comprehensive evaluation by a speech-language pathologist. An SLP can determine whether a child’s speech/phonological  patterns are age-appropriate, or if therapy is warranted.
