What is a key diagnostic criterion for speech sound disorder?

Persistent difficulty with speech sound production that interferes with speech intelligibility or prevents verbal communication.

How does speech sound disorder affect communication?

When do symptoms of speech sound disorder typically begin?

In the early developmental period.

What conditions are not attributed to speech sound disorder?

Congenital or acquired conditions like cerebral palsy, cleft palate, deafness, traumatic brain injury, or other medical conditions.

What is required for clear speech sound production?

Phonological knowledge of speech sounds and the ability to coordinate movements of the articulators with breathing and vocalizing.

At what age should children's speech be mostly intelligible?

By age 3 years.

Which gender is more likely to have a speech sound disorder?

Boys are more likely than girls.

Bilingual children may have lower intelligibility and more errors when assessed only in English.

What structural deficits can affect speech?

Deficits like cleft palate can cause speech impairment.

What distinguishes dysarthria from speech sound disorder?

Neurological signs and distinctive features of voice, although differentiation can be difficult in young children.
