Communication disorders involve difficulties receiving, understanding, or expressing information through speech, language, or voice. There are several types of communication disorders including speech disorders like articulation disorders which involve difficulties producing sounds, and language disorders which involve difficulties with understanding or using language. Statistics show that around 18.8% of students receiving special education have speech or language services, and communication disorders are among the most common disabilities in the United States. Early identification and treatment of communication disorders can greatly improve a child's future success.
