Abstract
Speech is one of the primary methods
of communicating with others. An
impairment in speech can significantly
affect the ability to communicate. Speech
impairments in childhood can have a
negative influence on social development.
Speech impairments at all stages of life can
lead to social isolation, embarrassment and
shame.
Children with hearing impairment
commonly present with articulation
deficits. Articulation and fluency
disorders represent the major categories
of communication problems. Early
identification and management are critical
for remediation of articulation disorders.
This study investigated the
identification of the articulatory problems
of children with hearing impairment
at primary level.
