Developmental Language Impairments
Developmental Language Impairments (DLI) are communication disorders that affect a child's ability to acquire language skills. These impairments can impact various aspects of language, including vocabulary, grammar, and the ability to understand and produce spoken or written language. DLI can vary in severity and may affect a child's social interactions and academic performance.
Children with DLI may struggle with expressing their thoughts clearly or following conversations. Early identification and intervention, often involving speech-language therapy, can help improve language skills. Understanding and support from parents, teachers, and peers are crucial for children with DLI to thrive in their communication abilities.
