Communication disorders can be problems with talking, hearing, or understanding. They affect how we use language and symbols to communicate. These problems can include trouble with speaking clearly, understanding language, or hearing. Communication disorders can range from mild to severe, depending on how complex the issue is. One common way people communicate is through gestures or sign language. Gestures or sign language are actions we make with our hands, face, or body to send messages. They can be used instead of or along with speech. Unlike other body movements that don't convey specific messages, gestures let us express various feelings and thoughts. Processing gestures happens in parts of the brain used for speech and sign language. Some think that language might have started from manual gestures, a theory called Gestural Theory.
