1. Which Language Disorders Do Speech Therapists Treat?
• Receptive language disorder: Affects the ability to comprehend spoken language and, in
some cases, written language. Individuals suffering from a receptive language disorder
may struggle to understand spoken language, respond properly, or both. This makes it
difficult to communicate and causes difficulties at school.
• Expressive language disorder: The inability to effectively express needs and thoughts by
words is known as an expressive language disorder. Children with this condition can
misspell terms, mix up verb tenses, and repeat phrases or parts of sentences. Expressive
language disorders cause issues in social situations, at work, and in school.
• Pragmatic language disorder: It’s also known as “social language disorder”. This is the
inability to use socially appropriate language. This disorder occurs when a person uses
inappropriate or unrelated language for a given context. Has difficulty turn-taking in a
conversation, has poor eye contact, has difficulty matching their tone and facial
expression to message, and has difficulty introducing and maintaining a conversation.
This causes problems with forming and maintaining relationships.
• Cognitive-communication disorder: The difficulty with every aspect of the conversation
that is hindered by a disturbance of cognition (thought). Attention, memory,
organization, problem-solving/reasoning, and executive functions are some examples of
cognitive processes. This type of disorder impacts all facets of life.
