Alalia

Alalia is a rare neurological condition that affects a child's ability to develop spoken language, despite having normal intelligence and motor skills. It results from brain abnormalities or injury in areas responsible for language processing, leading to challenges in speaking and understanding words. Children with Alalia may understand speech well but struggle to produce spoken language, often relying on gestures or alternative communication methods. Early intervention, speech therapy, and support can help improve communication skills and quality of life for individuals with this condition.
