- articulation disorder
- orofacial structural deficits
- phonology

DLD hallmark
variability
language profiles of children with DLD
- varied and diverse
- understanding and production can be at the same or different levels
- may have a particular difficulty with one or more specific language aspects (grammar, semantics, phonology, pragmatics)
DLD can co-occur with
- poor motor skills
- sensory processing difficulties
- behavioral difficulties
- ADHD
DLD can contribute to
- behavioral difficulties
- social and emotional difficulties
- peer relationship problems
can language delay ever be diagnosed
yes, ONLY retrospectively
by age 5 most children should be able to
- produce complex sentences
- produce speech sounds
- have a conversation over several turns
predicting outcomes of late talkers
- family history
- recurrent otitis media
- limited babble
- poor comprehension
- poor joint attention
- delayed play skills
- limited inventory of speech sounds
- late emergence of 2-word utterances
- unintelligible to familiar listeners
DLD clinical markers (evident later)
- non-word repetition
- sentence repetition
- morphology
low socio economic status and language disorder
- slower vocab growth
- possible less child-directed speech
- maternal deprivation and child/parent health can contribute to ongoing language difficulty
- studies vary about SES as a predictor of persistent language difficulties
(true/false) language assessments may be biased toward people with certain life experiences
true
? is highly dependent on life experience
vocabulary
culturally and linguistically diverse populations considerations
- mulitlingual person might use different languages in different contexts for different purposes
- understand code switching and language loss to avoid misdiagnosis
- in order to diagnose DLD, difficulty must be present in all languages
- evidence if inequalities and poor-quality healthcare for people with cultural and linguistic minority background
proficiency in 2+ languages may change depending on ?
- opportunities to use the language
- exposure to the languages
detailed case history form?
MAIN case history
which diagnostic assessment is best at diagnosing language disorder in bilingual Spanish/English children?
- no specific measure
- suggestive evidence supports the use of dynamic assessment for diagnosing language disorders in bilingual children
language difference includes
- ESL
- multilingual speakers
