Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder is Deficits in using communication for social purposes, such as greeting and sharing information, in a manner that is appropriate for the social context. A diagnosis is given when an individual has difficulty using verbal and/or nonverbal communication that is appropriate at the appropriate time. An individual with a family history of Autism Spectrum Disorder, Communication Disorders, or Specific Learning Disorders are more likely to have a SCD diagnosis. These kinds of problems in social communication lead to the child having a difficult time communicating effectively with others, participating in a social manner with others, and can even affect academic performance.
