Communication Disorders

Communication disorders are conditions that affect a person’s ability to understand, produce, or use language effectively. They can impact speaking, listening, reading, writing, or social communication. These disorders may be caused by developmental factors, brain injuries, or health conditions, and vary in severity. Examples include speech sound disorders, language delays, stuttering, and aphasia. They can make it difficult to express thoughts clearly or understand others, affecting daily interactions, learning, and social participation. Treatment often involves speech-language therapy to improve communication skills and enhance quality of life.
