LANGUAGE
"Children all learn language in the same way, but not always at the same time. Some children talk early and understand everything you say. Language refers to the words we use and how we use them to share ideas and get what we want. Language includes:
|
Vocabulary
Vocabulary are the words that make your ideas known to other people (the building blocks of communication). How you say things, and what words you use, will tell people if you have a question, comment, or concern.

Main Idea
What are people trying to say? What does the story tell us? When you fin the Main Idea, you get the Big Picture of a story, message, assignment, or comment. When reading or listening to someone, try to find the Main parts of the story, in order to figure out the Big Picture. Practice finding the pieces to the story that tell you the Who, What, Where, When...

Most people with LD have normal to above-average intelligence...Speech-language pathologists, or SLPs, can help..." - http://www.asha.org/public/speech/disorders/LBLD.htm Selective Mutism:

Aphasia
"Aphasia is an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write. Aphasia is always due to injury to the brain-most commonly from a stroke, particularly in older individuals. But brain injuries resulting in aphasia may also arise from head trauma, from brain tumors, or from infections. Aphasia can be so severe as to make communication with the patient almost impossible, or it can be very mild. It may affect mainly a single aspect of language use, such as the ability to retrieve the names of objects, or the ability to put words together into sentences, or the ability to read. More commonly, however, multiple aspects of communication are impaired, while some channels remain accessible for a limited exchange of information..."

Broca's Area (Expressive) Aphasia"Individuals with Broca’s aphasia have trouble speaking fluently but their comprehension can be relatively preserved. This type of aphasia is also known as non-fluent or expressive aphasia.
Patients have difficulty producing grammatical sentences and their speech is limited mainly to short utterances of less than four words. Producing the right sounds or finding the right words is often a laborious process. Some persons have more difficulty using verbs than using nouns..." https://www.aphasia.org/aphasia-resources/brocas-aphasia/ |

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
"TBI is a sudden injury from an external force that affects the functioning of the brain. It can be caused by a bump or blow to the head (closed head injury) or by an object penetrating the skull (called a penetrating injury).

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, but not the only one..."
