disorders Flashcards
define DLD
no associated biomedical conditions to explain language difficulties
DLD is inclusive of children with..
lower IQs
co-occurring conditions
define specific language impairment
only difficulty is language
no other co-occuring conditions
define learning disabilities/specific learning disabilities
a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding/using language that may cause difficulty with a student’s ability to:
listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or do math
learning disability is an unexpected difficulty, relative to age and other abilities, in learning in school, but a….
discrepancy between test scores does not have to be the criterion
specific learning impairment or learning disability is used in what setting?
the school systems
define learning language disorder/reading disorder
difficulties in understanding and using spoken and written language for academic learning
subset/specific type of SLD
define dyslexia
language based disorder characterized by difficulties in single word decoding, usually reflecting insufficient phonological processing abilities
dyslexia is a type of xx disability
reading
someone who has dyslexia has xx decoding of words but xx comprehension
poor; fine
DLD vs SLI
DLD is more inclusive because it includes children with lower IQs and with co-occuring conditions
SLI excludes children with lower IQs and with co-occuring conditions
SLD (LD) vs LLD (RD)
SLD is the big circle that encompasses LLD (not all LDs are language based)
LLD is a specific type of SLD that is specific to difficulties in understanding/using spoken and written language for academic learning
LLD vs dyslexia
LLD is more broad term and covers different types of reading disabilities
Dyslexia is a type of reading disability that affects phonological processing abilities and decoding of words
True or false: many children with dyslexia are not likely to have co-occuring DLD
false
True or false: intervention can help yield functional and structural changes for DLD and RD
true
True or false: there are not structural and functional differences in those with dyslexia
false
True or false: many children with reading disability also have language disability
true
True or false: DLD and RD frequently co-occur
true
True or false: children with dyslexia without DLD may still display weak language skills compared to TD peers
true
True or false: dyslexia can later negatively impact language
true
