Developmental speech and language disorders

Developmental speech and language disorders are conditions that affect how children learn to communicate, impacting their ability to understand others or express themselves. These disorders can involve difficulties with speech sounds, vocabulary, sentence structure, or social use of language. They often appear during early childhood and may persist if not addressed. Such disorders are caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, brain development, or environmental influences. Early detection and intervention are important to help children improve their communication skills, which are essential for learning, social interactions, and overall development.
