ELI5: How/why do speech impediments happen?
gpt
Not all speech impediments can be traced to the same cause. Some may be the result of under-developed musculature in the face and tongue, in which case speech therapy will likely be particularly effective. Some may be the result of neurological damage in speech or language regions of the brain. Some may be psychosomatic, due to traumatic experiences or mental illnesses.
