Accepted Answer

Speech disorder: This means the child has trouble making the correct sounds and movements of the mouth during speech.  Intensive speech therapy is very helpful, but checking for an underlying CAUSE is worthwhile.  For example, a hearing problem is a treatable cause.  There are other causes, and a pediatric neurologist may be a good option to help figure it out!  See your pediatrician.
