Social Communication Disorder

Social Communication Disorder (SCD) is a condition that affects an individual's ability to communicate effectively in social situations. People with SCD may struggle with understanding and using verbal and nonverbal communication, such as tone of voice, facial expressions, and conversation skills. This can lead to difficulties in forming relationships, participating in conversations, and adhering to social norms. Unlike autism, SCD does not involve restricted interests or repetitive behaviors. Treatment often focuses on developing social skills, improving language abilities, and enhancing overall communication effectiveness in various social contexts.
