Introduction

Communication is the process by which individuals exchange information and convey ideas (Owens, 1990). This communication is any verbal, non-verbal, or physical way of transmitting information (Gillette, 2009). All creatures do communicate but the code that is most used my human beings to convey this information is called language.

According to Verma & Krishnaswamy (1992) language is an arbitrary system of articulated sounds made use of by human beings for communication and expression. Language has sounds, words, sentences and meaning. Bloom and Lahey (1978) have stated that language is the code whereby ideas about the world are represented through a conventional system of arbitrary signals for communication. They have mentioned the 3 elements of language as being: form, content and use (Stephenson, 2006).

Communication Disorder

A communication disorder can be a speech and language disorder which refers to problems in communication and in related areas such as oral motor function. The delays and disorders can range from simple sound substitution to the inability to understand or use one's native language.
