SCOPE OF LANGUAGE 
 DISORDERS TREATED 
 BY SPEECH  
THERAPISTS: AN  
OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
This presentation provides an overview of the  
scope of language disorders treated by speech  
therapists. We will discuss the different types of  
language disorders, their causes, and how 
speech  therapists evaluate and treat them.
TYPES OF LANGUAGE DISORDERS
There are two main types of language  
disorders: receptive and expressive. 
Receptive  language disorders affect a 
person's ability to  understand language, 
while expressive  language disorders affect a 
person's ability to  use language to 
communicate.
CAUSES OF LANGUAGE DISORDERS
Language disorders can be caused 
by  a variety of factors, including 
genetic  disorders, brain injuries, 
and  developmental delays. 
Environmental  factors, such as a 
lack of exposure to  language, can 
also contribute to  language 
disorders.
EVALUATION OF 
LANGUAGE DISORDERS
Speech therapists use a variety of tools to 
evaluate  language disorders, including 
standardized tests,  observations of the patient's 
communication skills,  and interviews with the 
patient and their family.  These evaluations 
help determine the type and  severity of the 
language disorder.
TREATMENT OF LANGUAGE 
DISORDERS
Speech therapists use a variety of techniques to  
treat language disorders, including speech 
therapy  exercises, language stimulation activities, 
and  augmentative and alternative communication 
(AAC)  devices. The treatment plan is tailored to 
the  individual needs of the patient.
CONCLUSION
Language disorders can have a significant impact on a person's ability to  
communicate and interact with others. However, with the help of a speech  
therapist, individuals with language disorders can improve their 
communication  skills and lead more fulfilling lives.
