Disorders
Speech and language disorders are also referred as communication disorders. Communication is one of the most basic and essential elements of all the human processes. When an individual develops difficulties in the ability to understand and be understood, it can have devastating effects on that person's social-emotional well-being, interpersonal relationships, and quality of life. Communicative disorders, which are evaluated and treated by speech-language pathologists, cover a broad range of delays and disabilities related to:
