About The Course

This childhood development course explores various forms of child language disorders and the timeline for normal language development. It begins by identifying the five components of language and the types of language disorders children may experience. The course covers the causes and symptoms of language disorders, detailing the structured process that drives normal language development from the prelinguistic period through the preschool and early school years. Special attention is given to specific language disorders such as pragmatic language disorder and morphosyntactic, phonological, and semantic deficits.

The course also examines how brain damage after birth can lead to language impairments. Topics covered include acquired childhood aphasia, preschool language disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and other acquired childhood language disorders. Additionally, the course addresses the causes and effects of Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, Williams syndrome, learning disabilities, and communication disorders.
