Language is the process by which thoughts, feelings, and emotions are generated using a recognizable verbal or written system. It includes both receptive and expressive skills. Speech is the process of creating sounds and combining them to form words that are understood by a listener. It requires the integration of cognitive and neurologic abilities along with the musculoskeletal skills that support respiration, phonation, and articulation. Cognition refers to mental processes, including attention, memory, auditory processing, problem solving, and executive function. Some of the cognitive skills that are important for communication include processing speed, concentration, self-monitoring, thought organization, and memory. Verbal communication, the most common form, involves the use of speech, language, and cognitive skills, augmented by facial expressions and gestures.
