This includes assessment of and interventions for communicative disorders in infants, toddlers, young children, school-age children, youth, and adults.

The readers of CDQ represent a breadth of viewpoints and professional interests, which is also reflected in the diversity of interests and expertise of the editorial board members.

The journal is particularly of interest to speech–language pathologists and teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing.
