This study aimed to examine family history of functional articulation disorders (FAD) among Jordanian patients who present with FAD, as well as to investigate the relation of other factors related to the disorder (age, gender, genetic connection between parents, sounds affected, and type of disorder). A convenience sample of 45 patients (ages ranged from 6 to 35 years old) presenting with FAD at the Center for Phonetics Research at the University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan, from 2009 to 2013 was used. The evaluation reports of patients were reviewed for gender, age, family history, misarticulated sound, and type of articulation disorder. It was found that 46.7% of patients with FAD also reported a family history of articulation disorders. Furthermore, there were significant relationships between family history and both the presence of a genetic connection between parents (whether parents are relatives) and the misarticulated sound (which sound is misarticulated). Families with a history of articulation disorder should be counseled regarding the possibility of early intervention, and schoolteachers and other professionals working with school-age children should be encouraged to assist in this process.
