communication disorder
Let an agent explain communication disorders in general terms, including hearing loss that hinders communication and acquired aphasia, relay classifications, causes, assessment and therapy from speech and language therapy, audiology and psychiatric sources, point people to appropriate professionals and route sudden speech loss to emergency services, describe the named aliases, and distinguish disorders within this broad category from one another, from normal accents and dialects, and from broader conditions such as autism, without diagnosing individuals.

What it is Filled
A condition affecting the ability to receive, process, understand or express spoken, written or symbolic communication through impairments of speech, language or hearing, including speech sound disorders, language disorders, acquired aphasia, fluency disorders such as stuttering, voice disorders, social communication disorder and hearing loss that hinders communication. This broad category is not identical to the DSM-5 communication disorders classification, which includes language disorder, speech sound disorder, childhood-onset fluency disorder, social pragmatic communication disorder and unspecified communication disorder; voice disorders and the older label mixed receptive-expressive language disorder are not separate diagnoses in that DSM-5 category. The registry aliases also include asemia, the inability to understand or express any signs or symbols, stilted speech, overly formal speech sometimes seen in autism, and communication deviance, a research concept about unclear family communication. Speech and language therapists, audiologists and other relevant clinicians assess and treat these conditions within their professional scopes.
