What are language disorders?
Language disorders encompass issues related to the content of speech. While speech sound disorders involve errors in the actual sounds produced, language disorders pertain to errors in the meaning, order, or content of words.
These disorders are typically categorized into two domains: Expressive and Receptive.
Difference Between Expressive & Receptive Language Disorders
Understanding the distinction between these two domains is crucial in addressing language disorders effectively.
Expressive Language Disorders
These refer to issues in the output of language, affecting what others hear from the speaker. Expressive language disorders may manifest as using words out of order, having a limited vocabulary, struggling with verb tenses, pronoun usage, or constructing narratives, and more.
Receptive Language Disorders
In contrast, receptive language disorders center around difficulties in understanding, organizing, remembering, and building upon incoming language. Challenges in this domain can encompass comprehension, following directions, learning new words or expanding one's vocabulary, and more.
