Clinical Linguistics is the study of language and its disorders in a clinical context. It involves understanding how language skills develop and how difficulties can arise due to factors like neurological conditions, developmental disorders, or brain injuries. Professionals in this field assess, diagnose, and treat individuals with communication challenges, helping them improve their speech, language, and overall communication abilities. By combining knowledge of linguistics with clinical practices, Clinical Linguistics aims to support effective communication for better quality of life.
