The purpose of this study is to review the literatures concerning theoretical view points of phonological disorders and articulation disorders. During the last thirty years there has undergone rapid changes in the practice of speech and language therapy. Ingram and Grunwell have provided fundamental insights about the nature of phonological disorder. The applied discipline of speech and language therapy has increased its knowledge base through research arising from other sciences; research which typically leads to a deeper understanding of the nature of the pathology. So clinicians are able to diagnose a linguistic disorder arising at the phonological level. But this knowledge is insufficient for therapists. Efficient therapeutic planning depends on a clear understanding of the nature of the problem. Therefore I will review what is currently known about the phonological disorder. And I hope to clarify problems confronting clinicians who work with phonologically disordered children.
