Abstract
⺠We reviewed the evidence linking childhood speech disorders and brain abnormalities. ⺠The brain basis for speech production in children and adults overlaps. ⺠The potential for brain plasticity however differs between adults and children. ⺠In children, unilateral lesions are not sufficient to result in speech disorders. ⺠Longterm severe speech disorders mainly arise from bilateral brain dysfunction.
