Sensory processing disorder; Other names: Sensory integration dysfunction: An SPD nosology proposed by Miller LJ et al. (2007) [1] Specialty: Psychiatry, occupational therapy, neurology: Symptoms: Hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity to stimuli, and/or difficulties using sensory information to plan movement.

The condition is a communication disorder in which there are difficulties with verbal and written expression. [1] It is a specific language impairment characterized by an ability to use expressive spoken language that is markedly below the appropriate level for the mental age, but with a language comprehension that is within normal limits. [2 ...
Therefore, it may have been possible for an individual to have communication challenges but not meet the criteria of being "substantially below" criteria of the DSM IV-TR. The DSM diagnoses did not comprise a complete list of all communication disorders, for example, auditory processing disorder is not classified under the DSM or ICD-10. [8]
The DSM-5 and the ICD-10 are both used to make specific diagnostic decisions. Speech and language disorders commonly include communication issues, but also extend into various areas such as oral-motor function—sucking, swallowing, drinking, or eating. In some cases, a child's communication is delayed considerably behind his/her same-aged peers.
Language disorders or language impairments are disorders that involve the processing of linguistic information. Problems that may be experienced can involve grammar (syntax and/or morphology), semantics (meaning), or other aspects of language. These problems may be receptive (involving impaired language comprehension), expressive (involving ...
The most common types of dysprosody are associated with dysarthria and developmental coordination disorder, which affect motor processing in speech. Among the most studied types are: Flaccid dysarthria is characterized by little control over pitch and voice volume, reduced speech rate, and impaired voice quality
ICD-10 [10] DSM-IV-TR [11] ICD-11 [12] Specific developmental disorders of speech and language (F80): Specific speech articulation disorder (F80.0) Expressive language disorder (F80.1) Receptive language disorder (F80.2) Acquired aphasia with epilepsy Landau–Kleffner syndrome (F80.3) Other developmental disorders of speech and language (F80.8)
Specific language impairment (SLI) (the term developmental language disorder is preferred by some) [1] is diagnosed when a child's language does not develop normally and the difficulties cannot be accounted for by generally slow development, physical abnormality of the speech apparatus, autism spectrum disorder, apraxia, acquired brain damage or hearing loss.
