How do I know if my child has a Language Processing Disorder?

Updated: Jan 9, 2023


Language processing disorders can have a significant impact on a child's ability to communicate and understand the world around them. These conditions affect a child's ability to understand, comprehend, and produce language, and can manifest in difficulties with listening, speaking, reading, and writing.


CAUSES:

There are a number of different causes of language processing disorders in children, including hearing loss, cognitive or developmental delays, and neurological conditions such as stroke or brain injury. Children may also experience specific language impairment, a condition that affects their ability to acquire language skills in the absence of other developmental delays or hearing loss.


SYMPTOMS:

Symptoms of language processing disorders in children may include difficulty following instructions, trouble expressing needs or wants, problems understanding jokes or figurative language, and difficulty remembering new words. These symptoms may vary depending on the child and the severity of the condition, and may impact their ability to communicate effectively with others.


TREATMENT:

Treatment for language processing disorders in children often involves speech therapy, language therapy, and other educational interventions. These treatments are tailored to the child's needs and may involve working with a team of professionals including speech-language pathologists, educators, and medical professionals.


HOW TO SEEK HELP:

If you suspect that your child is experiencing difficulties with language processing, it's important to seek help from a qualified professional. With the right support and intervention, it is possible to improve a child's language skills and effectively communicate with others. Let Access to Better Communication help your child.
