Millions of people in North America have some sort of speech disorder. Many of these have normal mental abilities and are able to process language, but they lack normal control over the muscles used in speech (such as the lips and tongue), resulting in speech that can be very difficult or even impossible to understand. Other individuals have cognitive disorders (for example, caused by Alzheimer's disease) where it becomes difficult to understand what is being said, to remember the right words, or to produce sentences.

北美有数百万人患有某种语言障碍。他们中的许多人都有正常的思维能力，能够处理语言，但他们缺乏对言语中使用的肌肉(如嘴唇和舌头)的正常控制，导致言语可能非常困难，甚至不可能理解。其他人有认知障碍(例如，由阿尔茨海默氏症引起)，他们很难理解所说的话，很难记住正确的单词，也很难造出句子。
