It is diagnosed when the production sounds of speech is not what you would expect based on the age and stage of development of the child and when the deficits are not the result of impaired physical, neurological or auditory. For the children of four years with the development adjust the speech should be understandable, while the age of two years, only 50% of speech can be understood. It is characterized by difficulty in articulation (dyslalias), a delay of language, but good understanding. The prognosis is favorable for resolution, even spontaneous or with cycles of speech and language therapy.
