A resonance disorder is a term used to describe speech sound deficits characterized by physiological anomalies, such as hyper and hyponasality and malformed or malfunctioning palates.

Phonological processes is a term used to describe the techniques applied by children, when attempting to produce adult language. Deficits occur, when these developmental processes, which are expected to fade by a given age, are developmentally prolonged. They include:

Deletion of Final Consonants occurs when the speaker deletes the final consonant from a word e.g. cat = ca;

Syllable Reduction is the deletion of a syllable from a word e.g. banana = bana;

Stopping is the replacement of fricatives with a stop consonant, e.g. soup = dup;

Cluster Simplification occurs when one or more consonants is deleted from a sequence of consonants, e.g. blue = bu;

Liquid Simplification is the substitution of /w/ or /j/ for /l/ and /r/, e.g. rock = wok;

Velar Fronting is the substitution of /t/ and /d/ for /k/ and /g/, e.g. cat = tat;

Palatal Fronting is the substitution of palatal consonants with nonpalatal consonants, e.g. shovel = sovel;

Deaffrication is the deletion of the stop feature of an affricate, e.g. matches = mashes;

Initial Voicing is the inappropriate voicing of initial voiceless consonants, e.g. pen = ben;

Final Devoicing is the substitution of a voiceless consonant for the final voiced consonant, e.g. bed = bet.

Dyslexia is a term used to describe a cluster of symptoms that result in individuals having difficulty with reading. Both oral and written language, such as writing and annunciation of print, may be affected.

Dysarthria is a term used to describe a collection of motor speech disorders, whose impairment originates in the central or peripheral nervous system. As a result, the domains of respiration, articulation, phonation, resonation, and prosody may all be affected.

Cluttering is a term used to describe a speech and language processing disorder, which results in rapid, dysrhythmic, sporadic, unorganized and frequently unintelligible speech. Though accelerated speech may not always be present, an impairment in formulating language most commonly is.

Accent reduction, also known as accent modification, is a term that refers to a systematic approach for learning or adopting the speech sound system of a non-native language, which includes its phonology and melodic intonation.
