Three different breakdowns in the same territory: producing language, planning the motor sequence that speech and writing require, and holding the structural rules that make words work.
Language is not held in one place. These three names describe breakdowns at three different points along it.
Auditory discrimination, segmenting, prosody and phonology, and the auditory sequential memory that holds a word together.
Morphology and semantics of language, visual sequential memory, and left-right orientation.
Syntax and the pragmatics of language, and the motor planning that turns an intention into a sequence.

These three get grouped together because the complaints sound alike from the outside. Inside, they load different systems.
For a child, start with Developmental Milestones, whose language and perceptual-motor domains cover this ground directly. For an adult whose language changed after a stroke or injury, start with a rehabilitation consultation instead.
For this presentation that usually means Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy, structured therapy after injury, illness or decline. Restorative work rebuilds what will rebuild. Compensatory work creates a route around what will not. Most people here need both.
What people ask when the three names get used interchangeably and the plans turn out to be different.
No, and that is the point of assessing first. They share language territory but load different systems, so the remediation plan differs even when the presenting complaint sounds similar.
Yes. Pediatric neurocognitive rehabilitation pairs clinician-led therapy with computer-assisted cognitive training and immersive virtual reality, alongside targeted work on emotional regulation and autonomic stability.
That is aphasia after acquired injury, and it is core cognitive rehabilitation work. Restorative training rebuilds what can be rebuilt; compensatory training creates a route around what cannot.

Apraxia, aphasia and dyslexia can present almost identically and need different plans. The assessment is what tells them apart.
