Language Processing Disorders
If your child has difficulty with communication, it could be due to a language processing disorder. Language processing disorders (LPDs) can make it hard for children to understand what they hear and see and to use words correctly.
There are two types of language processing disorders:
- Receptive language disorders: This type of LPD makes it hard for children to understand language.
- Expressive language disorders: This type of LPD makes it hard for children to put their thoughts into words.
Most children with a language processing disorder struggle with receptive and expressive language. However, some children may have problems with only one or the other. Language processing disorders can make it hard for children to succeed in school. They may have difficulty following directions, participating in class, and keeping up with their peers.
