Abstract

People can encounter various obstacles during their language development. It is hypothesized that speech-language therapy helps overcome obstacles to improving and developing language skills. The present research is devoted to shedding light on the language disorders people can face daily. It covers mainly the effect of psychological, genetic, or developmental disorders related to neurological and brain problems on language perception and production. Thus, the overall aim of this study is to investigate the effect of brain disorders, more specifically on language. The study seeks to reveal the language development problems that children can face. In order to gather data, two semi-structured interviews were addressed to doctors in Ain Temouchent; one was for a neuropsychiatrist and the other one for a speech pathologist; another tool of research was used, observation, during the internship at both doctors' clinics. Furthermore, the results obtained from the research findings revealed that various developmental diseases connected to neurological and brain disorders could affect language perception and production; the speech-language pathologist uses several medical procedures with children suffering from language disorders to achieve better results.
