resultant limitations placed upon the individual.
[4] components:
1. Limitations in Body Function and Structure
(underlying damage to psychological, physiological, or anatomic structures or functions)
i.e. word finding probs, agrammatism, attentional deficit
2. Activity Limitations
-Functional consequences of the limitations of body function and structures.
i.e. word finding probs --> unable to add ideas/turn-take in convos.
3. Participation Limitations
-One's well being and social consequences that arise from having comm. disorders.
i.e. leading meetings, drive to work, etc.
4. Contextual Factors
-social, familial, educational, vocational, or other role disadvantage associated w/ the disability.

They supply different regions of the brain that affect different areas of speech and language. For example

language and motor planning and execution of speech production - correct answer ✔✔How does the
blood supply/artery system affect language areas in the brain?
Cognition, linguistic, and pragmatic - correct answer ✔✔What are the components of language function
, ASSESSMENT - correct answer ✔✔Components of _______ include:
