Quite frequently, communication disorders are first identified by family members, friends, doctors, or teachers. Among the most notable signs are:
- speech and/or language that is distinctly and unfavorably different from others of the same age, gender, or ethnic group;
- speech and/or language that is difficult to understand;
- difficulty in hearing or understanding the speech of others
- a reluctance to communicate due to self-consciousness about speech, hearing and/or language ability.
