Characteristics of student with communication disordersUsman Khan
Students with communication disorders may have impairments in speech, language, or both. Speech involves the physical production of language through respiration, voicing, resonance, and articulation, while language refers to the system of symbols used to communicate. Characteristics of students with language disorders can include problems with phonology, morphology, semantics, or pragmatics. Students with speech disorders may have difficulties with voice, articulation, or fluency. Speech-language pathologists identify communication disorders through standardized tests, observations, interviews, and language samples. General education teachers should collaborate with other professionals, involve families, encourage peer interaction, model correct speech, and provide a motivating learning environment for students with communication disorders.
The document discusses various roles in special education including teachers, aides, therapists, psychologists, and administrators.

Sign language is a means of communication using bodily movements, especially of the hands and arms. There are 7 main types of sign language including for the deaf, deaf-blind, and communicating with animals. Sign languages vary by country with some of the major ones being American Sign Language, British Sign Language, Mexican Sign Language, and New Zealand Sign Language. Sign languages play an important role in society through interpretation, telecommunications, and some communities where prevalence of deafness is high. An example is given of William Moon's moon alphabet which combined various modes of communication including Braille and sign language into a poetic language.
Sign language has existed for a long time and hundreds of different sign languages have developed independently across the world. Sign languages have their own complex grammars and are not dependent on spoken languages. They are expressed through manual communication such as hand gestures and movements, as well as facial expressions. While difficult to write down, sign languages effectively convey ideas and are an important means of communication for deaf communities.

Auditory Processing Disorder and Specific Language ImpairmentDorothy Bishop
Some children have specific language impairment (SLI) where they have problems understanding or producing language despite having no obvious medical cause. While their language issues may seem less severe as they age, formal testing still reveals difficulties. These children are often referred to audiologists to rule out hearing loss, but their hearing is typically normal. Some researchers have proposed that SLI could be caused by problems in higher-level auditory processing, but tests for auditory processing disorder (APD) are problematic because they often rely on language and can be influenced by other issues like attention. It is difficult to distinguish true auditory processing difficulties from higher-level language or cognitive impairments. Many children with listening problems actually meet criteria for neurodevelopmental
Speech and language impairment is defined as a communication disorder that affects a child's ability to produce sounds correctly (articulation), flow of speech (fluency), voice quality, or ability to express or understand language. Characteristics may include stuttering, difficulty with certain sounds, interrupted speech, abnormal voice pitch/loudness, improper word use, inability to express ideas, or reduced vocabulary.
