Social Communication Disorders

Social Communication Disorders (SCD) are conditions that affect a person's ability to communicate effectively in social situations. Individuals with SCD may struggle with understanding and using verbal and non-verbal cues, following conversation rules, or interpreting social context. This can lead to difficulties in forming and maintaining relationships, understanding jokes or sarcasm, and engaging in everyday interactions. SCD can be present in various developmental disorders, including autism, and can vary in severity. Early intervention and support can help improve communication skills and social understanding, enhancing overall quality of life for affected individuals.
