Language impairments refer to difficulties in understanding or using spoken or written language. These challenges can affect a person's ability to communicate effectively, impacting their social interactions, academic performance, and daily activities. Language impairments can arise from various causes, including developmental disorders, brain injuries, or neurological conditions. Common types of language impairments include specific language impairment (SLI), where children struggle with language skills despite normal intelligence, and aphasia, which affects adults after brain damage. Early diagnosis and intervention, such as speech therapy, can help individuals improve their language abilities and enhance their quality of life.
