What is
Hearing impairment
In this motor speech disorder, children have problems saying sounds, syllables, and words. This is not because of muscle weakness or paralysis. The brain has problems planning the movement of the lips, jaw and tongue needed for speech.
What is
Childhood apraxia of speech
What is
Apert syndrome
This disability describes specific kinds of learning problems and can cause an individual to have trouble learning and using certain skills. The skills that are usually affected may include: reading,writing, listening, speaking, reasoning, and doing math.
What is
Learning disability
This is a genetic condition that is caused by the deletion of genetic material on the small arm (the p arm) of chromosome 5. Infants with this condition often have a high-pitched cry that sounds like that of a cat.

What is
otitis media
This inherited single gene disorder is caused by an expansion of the trinucleotide (CGG), which repeats too often on the (FMR1)the FMR1 gene, reducing or completely eliminating production of associated gene protein FMRP. It has a prevalence of 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 8000 females
What is

This congenital disorder has an incidence of approximately 1 of every 150 babies, however, only approximately 1 in 5 babies will show signs of sickness or long term health issues from it. Long term health issues may include hearing loss, vision loss, intellectual disability, small head size, lack of coordination, weakness or problems using muscles, ands seizures.
What is

This neurodevelopmental disorder results from the deletion of approximately 25 genes on one copy of chromosome 7q11.23.
What is
William syndrome
ASHA defined this disorder as, “the efficiency and effectiveness by which the central nervous system (CNS) utilizes auditory information.”
What is
auditory processing disorder
This disorder is localized to a specific area of the brain usually the result of a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). It may also result from an intracranial bleeding in premature babies following birth
What is
focal brain lesion
This syndrome is an acquired epileptic aphasia, rare seizure disorder, results in severe language disorder. Onset usually between 3-6 years, however, can occur during childhood
What is
Landau Kleffner Syndrome (LKS)
This occurs as a result of “abnormal, snarled tangles of blood vessels that cause multiple irregular connections between the arteries and the veins” resulting in brain damage.
What is

Early signs of this disorder may include increased interest in objects, decreased eye contact, decreased social interaction and/or regression in communication skills
What is
Autism Spectrum Disorders
What is
deaf-blindness
___________this term is used to describe a group of chronic conditions affecting body movement and muscle coordination. The disorder is caused by damage to one or more specific areas of the brain, usually occurring during fetal development. It may manifest before, during, or shortly after birth; or during infancy.
