Malcolm Miller · Answer 2

Jennifer has a language disorder which hinders linguistic communication affecting phonological, semantic and syntactic aspects, in the decoding, comprehension and production of speech. The most common disorder diagnosed in these cases is dyslexia.

Explanation:

Jennifer, however, could be diagnosed with phonological dyslexia and superficial dyslexia. Phonological dyslexia is the difficulty in separating sounds from language and relating them to letters, a process that does not completely decode words. Superficial dyslexia hinders the recognition of familiar words, that is, the brain does not automatically decode certain basic words so it is necessary to memorized them in a different way.
