Articulation problems among children refer to difficulties in producing speech sounds correctly, making their spoken language unclear or hard to understand. These problems arise when a child is unable to accurately coordinate the movement of lips, tongue, teeth, jaw, and palate to produce specific sounds. Articulation difficulties are common during early childhood, but when they persist beyond the expected age of speech development, they can affect communication, learning, and socio-emotional development. One common articulation problem is sound substitution, where a child replaces one sound with another. For example, a child may say “wabbit” instead of “rabbit” or “tat” instead of “cat.” Such substitutions are developmentally normal in toddlers, but if they continue after the age of five or six, they may indicate an articulation disorder.

Another articulation problem is sound omission, in which a child leaves out certain sounds in words. For instance, a child might say “ca” instead of “cat” or “pane” instead of “plane.” Omissions often occur at the
