F80.2 clinical information

Again, this ICD-10 code diagnoses a patient with a mixture of two language disorders.

When we speak of receptive language disorder, we pertain to the inability to understand others in terms of speech and writing.

When we speak of expressive language disorder, we pertain to the inability to communicate and share thoughts, ideas, feelings, and more through speech and writing.

Numerous factors cause these disorders, such as:

Developmental and learning disabilities
Aphasia and other brain injuries
Stroke and other neurological conditions
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Deafness
Stuttering
Dysphonia and other voice problems

To determine if a person has a language disorder, they often undergo assessments that gauge the strength of their communication.

Once a person has been diagnosed with a mixed receptive-expressive language disorder, they can be treated via speech and language therapy, which may involve teaching them augmentative or alternative communication.
