1. Family History: Most children who require speech therapy had a family member who was a "late talker" or also received speech therapy. 

2. Developmental Factors: Many children experience articulation delays during their early years, which typically resolve with age. However, some may require intervention if difficulties persist.

Structural Issues: Anatomical abnormalities, such as cleft lip or palate, can affect speech production and may necessitate surgical correction and speech therapy.

Neurological Conditions: Conditions like apraxia and dysarthria are often linked to neurological factors, such as brain injuries, stroke, or neurodegenerative diseases.

Hearing Loss: Hearing impairment can impact a person's ability to accurately perceive and produce speech sounds, leading to articulation delays.
