Communication: Disorders include problems related to speech, language and auditory processing (difficulty understanding or interpreting spoken language) and may include simple sound repetitions (stuttering), problems articulating (saying/expressing) words, or complete inability to use speech and language for communication (aphasia). Hearing, voice, and learning disabilities may be involved.
