Experience difficulties in producing speech sounds
Speech disorders affect how a person produces sounds and words. These simulations help you understand what it feels like when the physical act of speaking becomes challenging, even when you know exactly what you want to say.
Speech disorders are different from language disorders. While language disorders affect the ability to understand or express ideas, speech disorders specifically affect the physical production of speech sounds.
People with speech disorders often know exactly what they want to say, but face challenges in the motor coordination or control needed to speak clearly. This can be incredibly frustrating and is often misunderstood by others.
These simulations provide a small window into that experience, helping you develop patience, empathy, and better communication strategies when interacting with individuals who have speech challenges.
