Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Guillermo's impairments in spoken language are consistent with a language disorder, which is characterized by difficulties in vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, and expression. Dyslexia is a specific reading disorder, speech sound disorder is characterized by difficulties in producing and articulating specific sounds, and childhood onset fluency disorder (also known as stuttering) is characterized by interruptions in the flow of speech. These conditions do not fully match with Guillermo's symptoms.
