Language disorders are conditions that affect a person's ability to communicate effectively. These disorders can impact speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. For example, a child with a language disorder may struggle to form sentences or understand what others are saying. This can make it difficult for them to participate in conversations or express their thoughts clearly. There are various types of language disorders, such as aphasia, which often occurs after a brain injury, and specific language impairment, which affects children without any obvious cause. Early diagnosis and intervention, often with the help of a speech-language pathologist, can significantly improve communication skills and overall quality of life.
