Defining speech sound disorder (SSD)

Dr Elise Baker from The University of Sydney recently visited Bathurst to work with me on our book titled: Children's speech. One of our major accomplishments was Elise's elegant definition of speech sound disorder:

"Children with speech sound disorder (SSD) have difficulty with:
• the representation of speech in the mind (phonology) and/or
• the production of speech in the mouth (articulation/motor speech)"
