What type of disorders does 'Communication Disorders' include?

  1. Intellectual Disabilities

  2. Behavioral Disorders

  3. Language and Speech Disorders

  4. Motor Skill Disorders

The correct answer is: Language and Speech Disorders

Communication disorders, as the name suggests, refer to issues in communication. A is incorrect because intellectual disabilities pertain to limitations in intellectual functioning. B is incorrect because behavioral disorders relate to behaviours and actions, not communication. D is incorrect because motor skill disorders deal with difficulties in movement and coordination, not communication. Although all these disorders can have an impact on communication to some extent, they are not specifically categorized as communication disorders. Therefore, C, Language and Speech Disorders, is the most accurate and specific answer.
