language disorders
Communication processing problems
Language disorders are conditions that impair a person's ability to understand or produce language.
They may affect spoken or written communication, vocabulary, grammar, or the ability to follow conversations.
Language disorders differ from speech disorders, which involve the physical production of sounds rather than the underlying language system.
Common types include developmental language disorder in children and aphasia, typically caused by stroke or brain injury in adults.
