Abstract

<h2>Summary</h2> The objective of this presentation has not been to answer all questions concerning disorders of speech in childhood but rather to orient the pediatrician to the subject. It is hoped that this orientation will provide the interest and motivation for further investigations by the pediatrician into the area of communication disorders. A final observation concerning the correctionof speech disorders in children is in order. Speech treatment for most types of problemsis quite lengthy and varies according to the nature of the difficulty. Usually the results of treatment are gradual rather than spectacular. The pediatrician can be of considerable help to the speech pathologist if he encourages parents to view the treatment program realistically and discourages their search for the spectacular or dramatic "cure."
