A communication disorder is any disorder that affects an individual's ability to comprehend, detect, or apply language and speech to engage in dialogue effectively with others.[1] This also encompasses deficiencies in verbal and non-verbal communication styles.[2] The delays and disorders can range from simple sound substitution to the inability to understand or use one's native language.[3] This article covers subjects such as diagnosis, the DSM-IV, the DSM-V, and examples like sensory impairments, aphasia, learning disabilities, and speech disorders.
