Over to Waseema Saleha….
Disorders in speech production • Aphasia: Impairment of language function due to localized brain damage that lets to difficulty in understanding and producing linguistics forms. • Broca, s aphasia (motor aphasia) is seriouse language disorder. • Wernick, s aphasia(sensory aphasia) is langauge disorder that results in difficulties in auditory comprehension. • Conduction aphasia is due to arcuate fasciculus
Any type of head injury can be cause of Aphasia

Articulation • The formation of clear and distinct sounds in speech. • Speech sound production.
Types • Active: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. • 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Lips Tongue Lower Jaw Soft Palate (Velum) Larynx= Vocal chords and Glottis Passive: Teeth Alveolar Ridge Hard Palate Uvula Pharynx Epiglottis

• Over to Mariyam Zunaira….
Development • Language aqusition • First language acquisition • Second language acquisition
