Speech Sounds
Speech sound disorders are speech disorders in which some speech sounds (called phonemes) in a child's (or, sometimes, an adult's) native language are either not produced, not produced correctly, or are not used correctly.
Social Skills
Social skill is any skill facilitating interaction and communication with others. Social rules and relations are created, communicated, and changed in verbal and nonverbal ways. The process of learning these skills is called socialization.
Stuttering
Stuttering is a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is disrupted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words or phrases as well as involuntary silent pauses or blocks in which the person who stutters is unable to produce sounds.
Voice
Voice is the sound produced by the larynx (voicebox in the throat), which allows us to ultimately produce speech sounds. Voice disorders are caused by physical or functional abnormalities of the larynx, which result in a husky or hoarse or breathy voice, e.g., vocal cord nodules, vocal cord polyps, paralyzed vocal cord, etc.
