Speech vs. Language
- Speech
- How we say sounds and words
- Using the vocal tract, tongue, lips, and jaw in a precise and coordinated way to produce sounds that make up a language
- A person with a speech impairment may not say sounds clearly, have a raspy voice, stutter
- Language
- The system of words and symbols we use to share and receive ideas or concepts
- A person with a language impairment may have difficulty understanding, talking, reading, and writing
