Language Disorders

Language Disorders are complex conditions that affect an individual's ability to understand, use, or process language effectively in various forms of communication. Coursera's Language Disorders catalogue teaches you the fundamental concepts of these disorders, including their types, causes, and impact on linguistic skills across different domains such as phonology, syntax, morphology, semantics, and pragmatics. You'll learn to identify symptoms, understand diagnostic criteria, explore assessment techniques, and study evidence-based intervention strategies for various language disorders like developmental language disorder (DLD) and aphasia. Mastering this skill empowers professionals in speech-language pathology, education, and healthcare to provide effective support and treatment for individuals with language disorders, improving their communication abilities and overall quality of life.
