AB Communication  is  the  process  by  which  people  exchange  information.  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.
