An articulation disorder refers to the omission, distortion or substitution of sounds in speech. In a typical substitution error, for example, a child may say "w" for "r" as in "wabbit" for "rabbit" or "th" for "s" in "thun" for "sun". The child may only misarticulate a couple of sounds, but he/she does so in all words that contain that sound. 1, record 2, English, - articulation%20disorder
