Language Disorders

Language disorder is a communication disorder characterized by persistent difficulties in the acquisition and use of language. These difficulties can include problems processing a range of different kinds of linguistic information, including vocabulary, sentence structure, and the social use of language. Language disorder can affect all kinds of linguistic communication: spoken, written, and gesture, and it can affect both a child’s ability to comprehend language and produce it. Language disorder is distinct from speech sound disorder, although a child can have difficulties in both speech and language. Language disorder can affect a child’s ability to function at home, at school and in social situations. At Sunny SPOT Therapy we strive to conduct a thorough assessment in order to fully understand the communication needs of your child.
