Speech Sound Disorder (SSD) Is A Communication Disorder In Which A Person Has Difficulty Producing Or Articulating Sounds Correctly, Making Their Speech Hard To Understand. It Can Involve Substituting, Omitting, Adding, Or Distorting Sounds (E.G., Saying “Wabbit” Instead Of “Rabbit”). SSD Can Affect A Single Sound Or Multiple Sounds And May Occur In Children Learning To Speak Or Persist Into Later Childhood If Untreated. The Disorder Can Impact Speech Intelligibility, Language Development, And Social Interactions, But With Early Assessment And Speech Therapy, Individuals Can Improve Clarity And Effective Communication.
