Post: Review the scenario described:

Here is the scenario patient for your final project:

You are a speech language pathologist working in a rehabilitation center. You assess a 5 year old little boy referred due to lack of intelligibility (< 50% to strangers). The following are examples of some of the speech errors exhibited by the child: t/k (/tp/ for /kp/), d/g (/dv/ for /gv/), g/k (/gr/ for /kr/). Decide whether you think the child exhibits an articulation disorder or a phonological disorder?

• Then, in your post for the patient described, differentiate (diagnose) between phonological and articulation errors. Write 500 words including three peer reviewed sources withing the last 5 years, discussing the difference between phonological and articulation errors. While also explaining your diagnosis of the patient.
