Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is a developmental disorder that affects a person's ability to acquire language skills. Individuals with SLI may struggle with vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure despite having normal intelligence and hearing. This condition typically becomes evident in early childhood when language milestones are not met. SLI is not caused by other medical conditions or environmental factors, making it a unique challenge for affected individuals. Early intervention, such as speech therapy, can help improve language skills and communication abilities, allowing those with SLI to better navigate social and academic settings.
