Poor communication skills can interfere with a child’s ability to build relationships and learn at school, home and in the community.

Speech or Sound Production: articulation, phonology or motor speech delay
Language: receptive and/or expressive in the areas of semantics, syntax or pragmatics
Voice: pitch, loudness, quality or resonance
