A speech impairment is a condition in which the ability to produce speech sounds that are necessary to communicate with others is impaired. Speech impairments can be mild, such as occasionally mispronouncing a couple of words, to severe, such as not being able to produce speech sounds at all. Your doctor may refer you to a speech-language pathologist who can teach you how to conduct exercises to strengthen your vocals cords, how to increase vocal control, how to improve articulation or vocal expression and how to expressive and receptive communication. In some cases, they may also recommend assistive communication devices. For example, they may advise you to use an electronic device to translate typed messages into verbal communication. In rare cases, you may need surgery or other medical procedures.
