Changes in terminology included in the largest classification systems and the latest results of research on the linguistic functioning of people with DLD (SLI) and ASD indicate the need to revise the differential speech therapy diagnosis and terminology used to describe these disorders. The presented article presents both historical views on SLI an...
The article deals with the topic of the differential diagnosis between delay in speech development, which has no consequences in the future, and the situation when it is a symptom of a disorder that accompanies a person throughout life, called alalia in Polish speech therapy, and Developmental Language Disorder in English. The author suggests und...

Children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) regularly use the bare form of verbs (e.g., dance) instead of inflected forms (e.g., danced). We propose an account of this behavior in which processing difficulties of children with DLD disproportionally affect processing novel inflected verbs in their input. Limited experience with inflection in...

Seven percent of children struggle to learn their native language for no obvious reason. This condition is called Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). Children with DLD often have difficulty learning to read and write. They are at higher risk for academic underachievement and may struggle to find good jobs. Their language difficulties also contri...
Evaluation of the rehabilitation efficacy may be an essential indicator of its further implementation and planning. The research aim is to examine whether the estimation of EEG correlates of auditory-verbal processing in a child with overlapping autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and specific language impairment (SLI) symptoms may be a predictor of the...
Language disorders are highly heritable and are influenced by complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Despite more than twenty years of research, we still lack critical understanding of the biological underpinnings of language. This review provides an overview of the genetic landscape of developmental language disorders (DLD...

Children with developmental language disorder (DLD; aka specific language impairment) are characterized based on deficits in language, especially morphosyntax, in the absence of other explanatory conditions. However, deficits in speech production, as well as fine and gross motor skill, have also been observed, implicating both the linguistic and mo...
Studien har som ambition att öppna upp för en diskussion om likvärdighet för elever med språkstörning i den svenska skolan. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och fokuserar på informanternas erfarenheter och tankar om två kommuners organisation av verksamheten som bedrivs för elever med språkstörning. Datainsamlingen genomfördes genom semistrukturera...
Syftet med denna uppsats är att öka kunskapen kring hur några lärare undervisar elever med språkstörning på låg-, mellan- och högstadiet. Syftet uppnås genom att intervjua lärare och på så sätt få svar på frågeställningarna: Hur anpassar lärarna undervisningen för elever med språkstörning samt vilka utmaningar upplever lärarna att eleverna har? Vil...

Research has described several features shared between musical rhythm and speech or language, and experimental studies consistently show associations between performance on tasks in the two domains as well as impaired rhythm processing in children with language disorders. Motivated by these results, in the current study our first aim was to explore...
