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.

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.

Language disorders can have a signi?cant impact
on a person's ability to communicate and
interact with others. However, with the help of a
