Presentation
Items in the nonverbal subtask were presented with the following presentation and timing parameters in all three phases (Encoding, Recognition, Retention). [journals.plos.org]
Findings indicated that both semantics and phonology contribute to word-learning difficulty, with word production presenting the biggest hindrance to success. [asu.pure.elsevier.com]

Present only one concept at a time. Have speech therapist present language units to the entire class. Use computers in the classroom for language enhancement. Encourage reading and writing daily. [do2learn.com]
Equipping a child for success at ages three and four will lead to positive experiences in kindergarten -- and the signs of SLI are present by age three. [merrill.ku.edu]
Entire Body System
- Disability
IDEA is the law that makes early intervention services available to infants and toddlers with disabilities, and special education available to school-aged children with disabilities. [parentcenterhub.org]
Our ability to help them lies in our willingness to advocate, understand, and ultimately, invest in this hidden disability. [theconversation.com]
Differentiating Specific Language Impairment from Other Disabilities Oral language difficulties are associated with a wide range of disabilities, including hearing impairment, broad cognitive delays or disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders. [ldonline.org]
The nature of the disability limits a child's exposure to language. Children with SLI need extra opportunities to talk and to listen, but because of the disability, they may actually have fewer chances. [merrill.ku.edu]
Specific Language Impairment Versus Other Disorders Oral language difficulties are associated with a wide range of disabilities, including hearing impairment, broad cognitive delays or disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders. [gemmlearning.com]
- Developmental Delay
Some individuals may show disorders in communication, consistent with autism spectrum disorder, or global developmental delay, although others ultimately show normal cognitive function. Penetrance is incomplete and expressivity is variable. [uniprot.org]
Be aware that if children have muscular disorders, hearing problems, or developmental delays, their acquisition of speech, language, and related skills may be affected. [do2learn.com]
[…] that would explain the delay. [gemmlearning.com]
Specific language impairment (SLI) is a language disorder that delays the mastery of language skills in children who have no hearing loss or other developmental delays. [nidcd.nih.gov]
Furthermore, specific language impairment does not involve global developmental delays; children with SLI function within the typical range in non-linguistic areas, such as nonverbal social interaction, play, and self-help skills (e.g., feeding and dressing [ldonline.org]
Ears
- Hearing Impairment
These children show a significant deficit in spoken language ability with no obvious accompanying condition such as mental retardation, neurological damage, or hearing impairment. [goodreads.com]

Funding is also provided for students who have vision and hearing impairments. The funding is allocated to the school rather than to the child so the principal or special needs committee are able to decide how the funding is used. [understandingminds.com.au]
Neurologic
- Dysarthria
In that case, the speech difficulty is called dysarthria. Neurological signs, such as specific vocal characteristics, can help differentiate dysarthria from speech impairment. [fhi.no]
Pearl has a speech disorder, too, but hers is called dysarthria. It causes Pearl’s speech to be slurred, very soft, breathy, and slow. Here, the cause is weak muscles of the tongue, lips, palate, and jaw. [parentcenterhub.org]
Treatment
There was a significant difference in grammatical performance pre- and post-treatment for children who received grammar treatment (Cohen's d = 1.24), but not for a group of children who received a control treatment. [researchers.mq.edu.au]

We will undertake standardized assessments, and treatment will include Evidence Based Treatment practices for SLI. [caintspeechtherapy.ie]
The book highlights important research strategies in the quest to find the cause of SLI and to develop methods of prevention and treatment. [muse.jhu.edu]
Prognosis
The parents may have worries and questions concerning long time prognosis for their child. [intechopen.com]
Etiology
Focusing on genetic evidence, Bishop [ 42 ] compared etiological models of ASD and SLI. [karger.com]

Since these problem areas have been suggested to share a common genetic etiology and vulnerability it might be more fruitful to ask ourselves how we can help these individuals by supporting them and preventing secondary consequences emanating from their [intechopen.com]

Prevention
The book highlights important research strategies in the quest to find the cause of SLI and to develop methods of prevention and treatment. [muse.jhu.edu]
Conclusions: According to the findings of this study, it is important to employ screening system to find preschool children with SLI to prevent subsequent problems. [jrsr.sums.ac.ir]
At the Nuffield Department of Medicine, our researchers collaborate to develop better health care, improved quality of life, and enhanced preventative measures for all patients. [ndm.ox.ac.uk]
Children can develop marked avoidance strategies to prevent having to speak. Stuttering that begins in adulthood is identified with its own diagnostic code. [fhi.no]
