What is Language Disorder?
Children with Language Disorder have challenges using and understanding oral language. This may result in children having difficulty understanding what people say to them or struggling to find the words they require or to articulate their sentences to share ideas or express their emotions.
A Language Disorder may occur as part of another condition, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Disability, Down Syndrome, Hearing Impairment and Acquired Brain Injury, or in isolation, as a Developmental Language Disorder (DLD).
