An expressive language disorder is a disorder of communication that is of concern if the problem persists or interferes with the child's daily activities or ability to learn and function at the expected academic level. A reading disorder most likely would be difficult to determine at this age; a phonological disorder refers to an inability to use sounds and speech as expected at a given age; and a stuttering disorder refers to frequent repetition of sounds or portions of words.
