Language Disorders in Children

Language Disorders in Children

Language is what connects us to others. It allows a child to express their needs, emotions, and curiosity about the world. But for some, speaking and understanding words can be a real challenge.

It is estimated that about one in fourteen children lives with a language disorder, also known as a developmental language disorder. This condition may show up as difficulty following instructions, finding the right words, or forming complete sentences. These children can be just as curious and intelligent as their peers — their brains simply process language differently.
