This can cause the listener to not understand what is being said. These sound errors can be distortions, substitutions, lisps, omissions, etc.
Another category under Speech-Sound Disorders is a phonological disorder. This is where the patterns of speech, may vary in place, manner, and/or voicing. For instance, sound produced in the back of the mouth like the /k/ sound is substituted and produced with sounds in the middle or front of the mouth.

Language Disorders - There are two main categories of Language Disorders, Expressive Language Disorders and Receptive Language Disorders. Under Expressive Language Disorders the individual often struggles to explain or tell others their thoughts or feelings (this usually takes great effort). An individual may have an expressive language disorder in either oral expression, written, or both. Receptive Language Disorder, the individual struggles with understanding the message communicated to them, especially learning new or unfamiliar vocabulary (they are expected to learn in many subjects and classes). Both of these disorders affect an individual’s learning in Reading, Writing, Spelling.
