I second the suggestion as I suffer from a speech sound disorder and would greatly have appreciated not having to link to a page so similar in general content. Khanyisagantsho (talk) 12:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speech sound dissorders are only one type of speech disorder -- stuttering is also a speech disorder but not a speech sound disorder. Likewise, voice disorders are speech disorders but not speech sound disorders. Dysarthria and apraxia of speech are similar to speech sound disorders, but usually considered separately. It seems that either one of two things could reasonaly be done.

keep this as a separate pages (the speech disorders page would then link to all the more specific conditions), or
merges this page, the article on stutterings, and the list of voice disorders all in speech disorders

Also, language disorders are a different catergory entirely, even the speech and language disorders can co-exist, and phonological disorder can be consider in both categories. --69.254.107.165 (talk) 03:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Prevalence

It may be beneficial to add some brief information about the prevalence rates of speech sound disorder. This website contains some information about the difficulty of determining the prevalence of speech sound disorder, as well as the prevalence rates as stated in a systematic review by Law, Boyle, Harris, Harkness, & Nye (2000), which stated the prevalence of speech sound disorder to be 2-25% for children between the ages of 5 and 7 ASHA: Incidence and Prevalence
