Developmental language disorder (DLD) is a communication disorder that disrupts the acquisition, comprehension, and use of language. These language challenges are not attributed to other conditions like hearing impairments or autism, nor are they due to external factors such as insufficient language exposure. DLD can impact a child's abilities in speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
Stuttering is a speech disorder marked by the repetition of sounds, syllables, or words, the elongation of sounds, and speech interruptions called blocks. A person who stutters is fully aware of what they want to say but struggles to maintain a smooth flow of speech. Cluttering, similar to stuttering, is a fluency disorder, but they are distinct conditions. Cluttering is characterized by speech that is rapid, unclear, and/or disorganized. Listeners might notice frequent interruptions in the flow of speech, which can come across as chaotic speech planning, talking too quickly or in bursts, or appearing uncertain about what to say.
Articulation is the process by which humans produce sounds, syllables, and words. A child with an articulation disorder might struggle to produce specific sounds or may form certain sounds incorrectly. This can make the child's speech difficult to understand, impacting their social interactions and learning.
Voice disorders impact one's ability to speak clearly, often arising from overuse of the voice or problems with the voice box or vocal cords. While most individuals can manage voice disorders through voice therapy, some may require medical or surgical intervention.
Individuals with Social Communication Disorder (SCD) comprehend language but may struggle with processing and responding to it, whether verbally or nonverbally. They also have difficulty understanding social cues and norms, which can make forming and maintaining relationships challenging.
Aphasia is a condition caused by damage to the brain regions responsible for language, typically located on the left side of the brain for most people. It often arises suddenly, usually after a stroke or head injury, but can also develop gradually due to a brain tumor or progressive neurological disease. Aphasia affects the ability to express and understand language, as well as reading and writing skills. It may occur alongside other speech disorders, such as dysarthria or apraxia of speech, which also stem from brain damage.
"Cognitive disabilities" is an umbrella term encompassing a wide range of conditions, including intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, severe and persistent mental illnesses, brain injuries, strokes, Alzheimer's disease, and other dementias.
Dysarthria is a speech disorder that occurs when the muscles used for speaking are weak or difficult to control. This often results in slurred or slow speech that can be hard to understand.
