Language disorders are conditions that affect a person's ability to understand or use language effectively. These disorders can impact speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. They may arise from various causes, including developmental issues, brain injuries, or neurological conditions. Common types of language disorders include aphasia, which affects speech and comprehension, and specific language impairment (SLI), where children struggle with language skills despite normal intelligence. Early diagnosis and intervention, often involving speech-language pathologists, can help improve communication abilities and overall quality of life for those affected.
