F80.0: Specific speech articulation disorder

You are unable to articulate certain sounds properly.

You pronounce certain sounds in a different way to other people. It may also be that you leave certain sounds out completely. As a result, other people may understand you less well. When we speak, we need different muscles to do so. Muscles like the tongue and those of the mouth, for example. The reason for this disorder is probably that your speaking muscles are not working together properly.

Additional indicator

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
