poor word recognition/ decoding abilities, reduced phonological processing, poor word attack skills, poor auditory discrimination, weaknesses in word retrieval, grammar, syntax, semantics, visuospatial skills
children with SLDL compared to typical children
comparable verbal IQ/ listening comprehension, below average word reading, below avg decoding, below avg phonological processing
hyperlexia
typical or above average ability to read, poor reading comprehension, obsession with letters and words, coexists with poor social skills
what is aphasia
involves disturbances in a receptive and expressive language spoken and written
causes of aphasia
cerebrovascular accident (stroke), brain tumor, TBI, infections or toxin exposure, dementia, right hemisphere disorder

temporal lobe - primary auditory cortex
occipital lobe - primary visual cortex
corpus callosum
interhemispheric communication
hemiparesis
hemisphere weakness
hemiplegia
hemisphere paralysis
hemisensory impairment
sensationhas gone from the parietal lobe
hemianopsia
damage to the occipital lobe, loss of vision
