Bilingual Speech-Language & Swallowing Therapy can also help if you can’t follow when others speak, don’t know what to say when socializing, or have one of several possible speech disorders.
A speech disorder affects the ability to speak and pronounce words. A language disorder occurs when children and adults have a hard time understanding or using words to communicate.
Common speech and language disorders include:
An articulation disorder occurs if you have trouble using your mouth and tongue to make or form sounds into syllables and words.
Fluency disorders disrupt the flow of words. For example, you may stutter or run your words together.
These include problems with the volume, pitch, or quality of your voice.
You have a receptive disorder if you have a hard time understanding language. An expressive disorder develops if you struggle to communicate using language.
These disorders occur when changes in cognitive functions, like memory, attention, and learning, cause speech problems.
Adults may develop a neurological disorder affecting their mouth and tongue. As a result, they have a hard time pronouncing certain sounds and words.
Aphasia, another condition that occurs in adults, refers to the inability to understand or express spoken or written language.
Speech problems arise from many medical and developmental conditions, such as:
Traumatic brain injuries can also affect speech, language, and communication.
