The main categories of communication disorders are speech and language.​

IDEA defines speech and language impairments as having a communication disorder such as stuttering, impaired articulation etc.

Articulation disorders

Fluency disorders

The factors that cause/contribute to voice disorders are colds, upper respitory infections, constant clearing of the throat, allergies, throat cancer, and thyroid issues.​

Central auditory processing disorder is the issue of processing sounds not aligning with hearing loss or intellectual abilities.​

Speech language pathologists originally became popular in schools in the early twentieth century. They then branched out into places such as rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, and health departments.​

​ A acquired disorder typically appears at birth while an developmental disorder is formed over time.

Family centered early intervention gives parents an idea early on of how to handle conflicts and have an idea of what to expect in the future.​

The lack of valid and reliable assessments makes it hard to accurately identify speech and language impairments.
