Background: Neurodiversity is increasingly discussed in relation to autism research and practice. However, there is a lack of scholarship concerning the neurodevelopmental condition of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and the neurodiversity movement. While this movement may hold opportunities for the DLD community, the application of the…

A significant number of individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) exhibit language difficulties. Here, we examined the language-related brain morphometry in 59 participants (7 participants with TSC and comorbid autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (TSC + ASD), 13 with TSC but no ASD (TSC-ASD), 10 with ASD-only (ASD), and 29 typically developing…

Leah Ward; Kamila Polišenská; Colin Bannard – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis examines the accuracy of sentence repetition (SR) tasks in distinguishing between typically developing (TD) children and children with developmental language disorder (DLD). It explores variation in the way that SR tasks are administered and/or evaluated and examines whether variability…

Georgiou, Georgios P.; Theodorou, Elena – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study aims to investigate the perception of phonological, grammatical, and semantic structures by 8 children (age range: 8;2-9;5) with developmental language disorders (DLD). Another 8 age-matched (age range: 8;4-10;0) typically developing (TD) children served as controls. The results demonstrated that children with DLD had lower performance…

Katherine Shobbrook; Poppy Young; Suzanne Beeke; Wendy Best – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Oral comprehension difficulties are prevalent in preschool children with language difficulties and are frequently the target of speech and language therapy (SLT) intervention. To support the implementation of research to practice, there is a need to identify effective interventions for this population and to describe their components.…

Verb morphology difficulties have been widely attested in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) who speak English and other languages. This research contributes data on a variety of Arabic, a richly inflected Semitic language. The current study examined the production of subject-verb agreement morphology in three groups of 30…

Amanda B. Percle – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This dissertation is a qualitative study investigating changes in compensatory strategies over time. More specifically, this study analyzed post hoc data spanning the course of 10 years. To address such a complex phenomenon as compensatory strategies, it was necessary to choose appropriate methodologies in driving the data analysis. These methods,…

Katrina Nicholas; Tobie Grierson; Priscilla Helen; Chelsea Miller; Amanda Owen Van Horne – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if 2.5-year-olds with language delay would learn verbs ("spill") when presented with varying syntactic structure ("The woman is spilling the milk"/"The milk is spilling"; "milk" = patient or theme) in a therapeutic context. Children with language delay have…

Lisa M. D. Archibald – Discover Education, 2024
The terms Language Disorder, Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), Language-based learning disabilities, Specific Learning Disorder, and Specific Learning Disability are commonly used to describe children struggling to learn at school. In this position paper, the definitions and distinctions between these terms are discussed, and key overlaps and…

Militina Gomozova; Valeriia Lezzhova; Olga Dragoy; Anastasiya Lopukhina – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Previously, Lancaster and Camarata (2019) showed that the continuum/spectrum model of the developmental language disorder (DLD) best explained the high heterogeneity of symptoms in children with DLD. We hypothesize that the continuum/spectrum approach can include not only children with DLD but also typically developing (TD) children with…

Michelle Nichols Ramos – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Accurately identifying developmental language disorder (DLD) in students who speak a home language other than English has proven to be an enduring challenge. Consequently, students with DLD miss out on critical interventions, and those who are acquiring their two languages in a typical manner are placed in settings that do not meet their…

Leah L. Kapa; Heidi M. Mettler – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Our goal was to compare statistical learning abilities between preschoolers with developmental language disorder (DLD) and peers with typical development (TD) by assessing their learning of two artificial grammars. Method: Four- and 5-year-olds with and without DLD were compared on their statistical learning ability using two artificial…

St Clair, Michelle C.; Horsham, Jasmine; Lloyd-Esenkaya, Vanessa; Jackson, Emily; Gibson, Jenny; Leitão, Suze; Botting, Nicola – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Public awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is lower than other neurodevelopmental disorders, despite its high prevalence of 7.6%. This lower awareness means recruitment for DLD research studies is difficult. DLD is both underfunded and under-researched, resulting in relatively limited research investigating individuals…

Yu, Haopeng; Wang, Haiyan; He, Xiaowei – Journal of Child Language, 2023
This paper investigates the comprehension of Relative Clauses (RCs) in 15 Mandarin children with suspected Specific Language Impairment (SLI) (aged between 4; 5 and 6; 0) and 29 typically developing (TD) controls. Results from a Character Picture Matching Task indicate that (i) the subject RC was better understood than the object RC in children…

Handedness has been studied for association with language-related disorders because of its link with language hemispheric dominance. No clear pattern has emerged, possibly because of small samples, publication bias, and heterogeneous criteria across studies. Non-right-handedness (NRH) frequency was assessed in N = 2503 cases with reading and/or…
