Language Processing Disorder

Affects attaching meaning to sound groups that form words and sentences.

Individuals with Oral / Written Language Disorder and Specific Reading Comprehension Deficit struggle with understanding and/or expressing language often in both oral and written forms.

These individuals often exhibit Specific Language Impairment related to deficits in semantic processing and syntactic processing.

Semantic processing relates to encoding the meaning of words. Syntactic processing relates to the understanding of the order of words and how that can change meaning. For example, the sentences “The blanket is on the baby” and “The baby is on the blanket” use the same words, but have different meanings.

Oral and Written Language Disorder Can Impact:

Understanding and expressing oral or written language
Finding words to express themselves
Listening comprehension
Understanding how the order of words in a sentence changes the meaning
Comprehending words and sentences
