DEFINITION
OF
LANGUAGE
DISORDER
• Developmental language disorder (DLD) is a
communication disorder that interferes with learning,
understanding, and using language.
• These language difficulties are not explained by other
conditions, such as hearing loss or autism, or by extenuating
circumstances, such as lack of exposure to language.
Language
Disorder
• A language disorder is impaired comprehension and/or
use of spoken, written and/or other symbol systems. The
disorder may involve
1.the form of language (phonology, morphology, syntax),
2.the content of language (semantics), and/or
3. the function of language in communication (pragmatics) in
any combination.
Classification
of language
disorder
• There are 2 kinds of language disorders:
1.receptive
2.expressive
Receptive
disorder
• A receptive language disorder is one in which a child
struggles to understand and process the messages and
information they receive from others.
• Some children have a mixed receptive-expressive language
disorder in which they have symptoms of both types of
disorders.
Expressive
Disorder
• Developmental expressive language disorder is a condition
in which a child has lower than normal ability in
vocabulary, saying complex sentences, and remembering
words.
• However, a child with this disorder may have the normal
language skills needed to understand verbal or written
communication.
Symptoms of
language
disorder
• reduced vocabulary in comparison to other children of the
same age
• limited ability to form sentences
• impaired ability to use words and connect sentences to
explain or describe something
• reduced ability to have a conversation
• leaving words out
• saying words in the wrong order
• Repeating a question while thinking of an answer
• confusing tenses (for example, using past tense instead of
present)
Sign and
Symptoms
• Feeling anxious or worried.
• We all get worried or stressed from time to time.
• Feeling depressed or unhappy. ...
• Emotional outbursts. ...
• Sleep problems. ...
• Weight or appetite changes. ...
• Quiet or withdrawn. ...
• Substance abuse. ...
• Feeling guilty or worthless
Disadvantages
of Language
disorder
• Students with language disorders may have trouble
understanding or being understood through all forms of
communication — verbal, nonverbal, and written.
• This can cause difficulty understanding the meaning of
words and putting words together to form and ideas.
Disadvantages
of Language
disorder
• Children with communication disorders have poorly
developed conversational skills and have a difficult time
making friends because they cannot interact as “normally”
or effectively through conversations as other children can.
They are also at risk for social problems in other areas
Causes Of
Language
Disorders
• Language disorders can have a range of causes, which can
include:
• Hearing loss:
• Hearing loss can have a significant impact on a child's
language development, and can lead to language disorders if
left untreated. When a child has difficulty hearing, they may
miss important sounds and speech cues, which can make it
difficult for them to learn and understand language. Here
are some ways hearing loss can affect language
development:
• Vocabulary development
• Grammar
• Pronunciation
Conti…….
• Genetics can play a significant role in the development of
language disorders in children. Research has shown that
genetics can play a significant role in the development of
language disorders in children.Some genetic mutations or
variations can affect the way a child's brain processes
language, leading to difficulties in language acquisition and
use.
• Brain injury or damage can have a significant impact on
language development in both children and adults. For
example, a stroke that affects the language areas of the brain
can cause aphasia, a condition in which a person has
difficulty with language comprehension or expression.
Environmental
Factors
• Parental factors: Children who grow up in homes with
fewer language-rich interactions may be at a higher risk for
language disorders.
• For example, if parents do not talk to their child as much or
read to them regularly, the child may have fewer
opportunities to learn new vocabulary and language
structures.
Conti…..
• Socioeconomic status: Children from lower socioeconomic
backgrounds may be at a higher risk for language disorders.
This may be due to factors such as less access to high-
quality childcare or educational resources, or exposure to
environmental toxins that can affect brain development.
Interventions
• Interventions for language disorders can vary depending on
the individual's age, the severity of the disorder, and the
specific language difficulties that they are experiencing.
Here are some common interventions for language
disorders:
• Speech therapy: Speech therapy is the most common
intervention for language disorders, and involves working
with a speech-language pathologist (SLP) to improve
language skills. SLPs use a range of techniques, such as
play-based activities, to help children develop their
language skills.
Conti……
• Parent training:
• can play an important role in helping their children develop
language skills, and may benefit from training on how to
support their child's language development at home.
• Collaborative team approach
• A collaborative team approach involving healthcare
professionals, educators, and parents can be effective in
addressing language disorders.
• This may include regular meetings to discuss progress and
plan interventions.
Conti…..
• Regular speech therapy: a therapist works with your child
on the development of vocabulary and grammar, as well as
giving tips on how to help your child at home.
• Psychotherapy: used when a child has emotional problems
due to language difficulties.
Educational
Treatment
• The educational treatment of language disorders typically
involves a variety of interventions that are tailored to meet
the specific needs of the individual child.
• Speech and language therapy:
• Speech and language therapy is a common treatment for
language disorders.
• A speech and language therapist works with the child to
improve their language skills, such as vocabulary, grammar,
and comprehension.
Conti…..
• Classroom accommodations
• Children with language disorders may require
accommodations in the classroom to help them succeed
academically.
• Social skills training:
• Children with language disorders may have difficulty with
social communication and interaction. Social skills training
can help them develop these skills and improve their ability
to interact with others.
Implications
of Language
Disorders
• Language disorders can have significant implications for
individuals across their lifespan, impacting their ability to
communicate effectively and interact with others in social
and academic settings.
Conti….
• Here are some common implications of language disorders:
• Academic difficulties: Language disorders can make it
difficult for individuals to learn and comprehend new
information, which can impact academic performance and
achievement.
• Social difficulties: Language disorders can impact social
skills and communication, making it difficult for individuals
to form and maintain relationships with peers and adults.
Conti…..
• Behavioral difficulties:
• Individuals with language disorders may experience
frustration and emotional difficulties due to their difficulty
communicating effectively, which can lead to behavioral
challenges.
• Self-esteem and confidence: Difficulty communicating
effectively can impact an individual's self-esteem and
confidence, leading to feelings of inadequacy and low self-
worth.
Conti…..
• Employment difficulties:
• Language disorders can impact an individual's ability to
communicate effectively in the workplace, which can
impact employment opportunities and career advancement.
Mental
health
implications
• Language disorders can contribute to mental health
difficulties, such as anxiety and depression, particularly if
individuals feel isolated or misunderstood due to their
difficulty communicating effectively.
• It is important to note that the implications of language
disorders will vary depending on the individual's specific
needs and experiences, and may require ongoing support
and intervention to help individuals overcome these
challenges and reach their full potential.
Conclusion
• A language disorder is a communication disorder that
affects a person's ability to understand, use, and/or express
language. It may affect spoken language, written language,
or both. There are two main types of language disorders:
receptive language disorders and expressive language
disorders.
Thank You
