Speech sound disorders is an umbrella term referring to any combination of difficulties with perception, motor production, and/or the phonological representation of speech sounds and speech segments that impact speech intelligibility.
Known causes of speech sound disorders include motor-based disorders (apraxia and dysarthria), structurally based disorders and conditions (e.g., cleft palate and other craniofacial anomalies), syndrome/condition-related disorders (e.g., Down syndrome) and sensory-based conditions (e.g., hearing impairment.
Speech sound disorders include Articulation disorder & Phonological disorder.
Assessments include screening and detailed comprehensive assessment.
Effective treatment of speech sound disorder include Contrast therapy, Core vocabulary approach ,Cycles Approach, Distinctive feature therapy, Naturalistic speech intelligibility intervention,Non speech oral motor therapy,Speech sound perception training.
Here is a great review of fluency for SLPs. It includes information regarding assessment and treatment, as well as consideration when working with bilingual students who have fluency disorders.
Speech perception is defined as the process by which a perceiver tries to identify the talkers underlying language patterns on the basis of speech sounds and movements. The ultimate goal of speech perception is to determine the meaning and intent behind the spoken message.
-Arthur Boothroyd (1998)
In many everyday situations, we find ourselves listening to speech-often trying to understand the speech of one particular person even as other conversions, radio broadcasts, and public address announcements create a troublesome speech background. How do we understand the speech of other people? How do we select one voice particularly from a crowd of conversing persons? By what processes do we take in the perishable acoustic signal of speech and quickly reach decision about who said it, what was said and how it was said? All of these decisions must be made before the speaker produces the next utterance. These are some of the questions that the study of speech perception attempts to answer.
Auditory perception of speech is a process of interpreting the instructions imprinted on the acoustic wave by the speaker over a time span.
Auditory perception of speech per se deals mainly with the temporal management of information from the input (Berlin 1969).
• Speech is a continuous, unsegmented event. The organs of speech glide from one target position to the next, generating transitional information in the process.
• The characteristics of the acoustic stimulus for any given phoneme are considerably influenced by its neighbors i.e., its phonetic context. Coarticulation results from overlapping of the articulatory constituents of one sound with the next.
The perception of any sound can be considered in terms of either
a) The manner of articulation used in its production
b) The resultant acoustic event.
McKay (1956) described two approaches for an explanation of how linguistic value is determined from a speech signal. They are
1) Active
2) Passive
The passive system is envisaged as a filtered system functioning to identify and combine information so as to restructure the pattern. These theories are termed ‘Non mediated’ theories.
The active models are viewed as comparator systems in which input pattern are compared to an internally generated pattern. These models/theories are referred to as ‘mediated’ theories.

This presentation reviews how to better identify and treat speech disorders and evaluates existing therapy approaches and programs for addressing them. Speech sound disorders are classified into five distinct subgroups. You will learn how to determine which strategies are most appropriate for a child, depending on his/her types of errors. This presentation also describes the differences in articulatory and phonological development and error patterns in Spanish and in English.
