DYSLALIA

LANGUAGE DISORDERS

Language is one of the primitive patterns of behaviour of the human being, which will become the basis of any communication.

From a neurological, linguistic and psychological point of view the child must be in optimum conditions to be able to acquire and develop both language and speech with normality.

This work begins by remembering the characteristics of the normal development of infantile language throughout the different stages of his development.  The problems that arise when the child takes a long time to start speaking will be known, when he stops speaking or speaks wrongly, or when he shows some other disorders. Next voice, speech, verbal and written language disorders will be analyzed.

In the conclusions there’s a brief summary about different signs of alarm that might arise, as well as the interventions of other specialists that can be necessary.

The phonological component comprises distinct instructional units, which operate within a language system and allow its combination with the structuring of spoken discourse. The development of this component is related to the emergence of a number of perceptual functions, primarily hearing, and a set of skills and motor skills, which are improved over the first five years of life, a stage in which the phonetic system development is achieved almost entirely.

The concept of dyslalia corresponds to the disorder in the articulation of phonemes, or by the absence of alteration of some specific sounds or replacement of these by others incorrectly. It is an inability to correctly pronounce certain phonemes or form groups of phonemes.

Dyslalia can affect any consonant or vowel, the defect may occur to one single phoneme or more in any number, or only affect the association of consonants when they appear together in a single syllable, omitting in this case one of them.

Given its causes can be classified in the dyslalias:

    Dyslalia evolutionary

    Dyslalia functional

    Dyslalia audiogenic

    Dyslalia organic

 DYSLALIA PHSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS.

 In general, ages 4 to 6 years old, he or she is unaware of his defect and strongly believes that speaks well.

Symptoms:

His language is more or less affected as the number of phonemes to extending its dyslalia. In general, the floor is smooth, although sometimes it can get to be unintelligible by the continuous articulator deformations. Failure to have correct pronunciation for the manifest with different symptoms or errors, such as:  substitution, distortion, omission and insertion.
