Different Types of Communication Disorders
Following are the five different categories under which various different types of communication disabilities and disorders can be classified. Take a quick look to get a better understanding.
Difficulties in Articulation
The communication disorders that fall under this category are characterized by inability of the subject to distinctly utter speech or verbal sounds. There can be several reasons behind this phenomenon – cleft palate, weakness or paralysis of vocal muscles used in articulating speech, motor planning difficulties, nerve damage, and issues with the neural systems that regulate voice and speech, etc.
Phonological Difficulties
The pronunciation and utterance of speech sounds differs as an individual matures in age. Phonological disorders are characterized by a mismatch between the level of development of hold on a particular linguistic sound system, and perception of phonetic combinations and the age of the subject. When we say linguistic sound system and phonetic combinations, we refer to the language which is native to the subject, and which is the most commonly spoken language in his / her family and / or social surroundings.
Fluency Issues
Abnormal and frequent breaks in the flow of speech, such as stuttering or stammering, is a communication disorder which usually begins in early childhood. As the child grows up, this issue can be resolved by speech therapy and counseling, and by encouraging the child to participate in speaking and read-aloud activities. However, similar conditions can occur as a result of severe trauma or emotional shock too.
Difficulties in Linguistic Perception
Difficulties in understanding, learning and using a language, is a communication disorder that is characterized by the subject having difficulty in understanding the meaning of words, correct grammatical structure, proper usage and phonetics of a language, which he / she has been exposed to since a very long time, and which he / she is expected to know fairly well. The language in question is usually the mother tongue or the most prevalent language spoken by his / her ethnic or social community.
Voice Disorders
Abnormal vocal aspects such as pitch, tenor, loudness, etc., with regards to one's age and gender, is a vocal communication disorder which may be due to neural or hormonal irregularities. Sometimes, the vocal cords are not properly formed, which may lead to an abnormal voice quality in an affected individual.
Some notable examples of communication disorders that fall under these categories include:-
Aphasia
Dysarthria
Apraxia
Dysnomia
Dyslexia
Dyscalculia
Puberphonia
Expressive Language Disorder
Specific Language Impairment
