What is communication / its disorders /what age it affects / symptoms / who are the professional guides and treatment

Hello

Today I would like to spread awareness about what communication is, its disorders. So in layman language communication is an interaction between two or more people that means what we talk and what we express is communication

 And in today's society, it is utmost important to have good communication skills whether it be for a school going child, a college student, or and an adult.

According to a survey among the skills like sports, art, and music, reading and writing the most important skill is communication. There are two primary elements of communication

a) SPEECH Speech is what we talk or words we speak

b) LANGUAGE Language is the meaning of what we speak or express through our gestures or body 

Though people are well educated still there exists a large population who are unaware of early symptoms of communication problems. Some of the causes of communication issues are - Medical problems like stroke, accident affecting speech-language areas in brain, etc., learning disability, autism, hearing loss by birth or due to ageing, environmental factors and so on. Some speech-language disorders are

Stuttering / Stammering- a person stops many a time while speaking

Misarticulation- Unclear speech for example balloon is replaced as badoon

Puberphonia- Generally seen in young males whose voice quality changes between 14-15 years of age but is able to

Aphasia- Language problem may be due to accident or stroke in which speech-language areas are affected in the brain

Hearing loss- It can affect any age group

For these communication problems, there are both formal and informal tests for diagnosis of the kind and severity of problem. after which the treatment plan begins. So if we are aware somewhat about such problems we can too contribute in spreading awareness.

Last but not the least IT'S BETTER TO START NOW AND START SMALL, THAN NOT AT ALL.
