  • Phonological

    Focus on predictable, rule-based errors (i.e. fronting, stopping, and final consonant deletion) that affect more than one sound.

    “tootie” for “cookie” and “do” for “go”

  • Organic

    Motor/neurological disorders (childhood apraxia of speech and dysarthria), structural abnormalities (cleft lip/palate and other structural deficits or anomalies), and sensory/perceptual disorders (hearing loss).
