Language disabilities in children: perceptual correlates.

Full Abstract

Although language disabilities in children manifest themselves as a failure to develop linguistic skills normally at or near the expected age, the underlying etiology of this prevalent developmental disorder is not well understood. Recent research studies provide empirical evidence that demonstrates a preponderance of basic perceptual disorders in some children with developmental language delay. These studies are reviewed and the possible role of specific perceptual impairments in various language disorders is discussed.
