In an increasingly interconnected world, effective communication is paramount to personal and professional success. However, for many people, language barriers significantly challenge their communication and collaboration ability. Moreover, with increased global migration and travel opportunities, society has become more multilingual, creating a rich mix of cultures and increasing the likelihood of misunderstandings. Everyone deserves the opportunity to express themselves freely and communicate with others seamlessly.
Language barriers often prevent full communication and lead to misunderstandings in the workplace, family, or social relationships. In addition, people with cognitive disorders such as dyslexia and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) face additional difficulties in processing and communicating information, adding to the difficulty of communication. Our paper examines the multifaceted challenges of communication barriers, focusing on individuals with cognitive disabilities, children from linguistically diverse families, and immigrants. The paper emphasizes the critical intersection of language proficiency, cognitive diversity, and immigration status that exacerbates communication difficulties.
