Description

Children with specific language impairment (SLI) are a vulnerable population. Practitioners, policy makers and researchers use a range of different terms to describe this population (see Lindsay, Dockrell, Mackie & Letchford, 2002). Moreover, a range of terms are used in Europe (dysphagia) and North America (USA: SLI, or in parts of Canada: dysphagia) and more recently primary language disorder (Tomblin, Buckwalter, & O'Brien, 2003). The population is heterogeneous with the specific nature of their problems residing with one or more subcomponents of the language system. We use the term specific language impairment to reflect the most common usage in the literature.) These children experience problems with the acquisition and processing of oral language skills. The most commonly used core criterion to identify children with SLI is that their language problems cannot be explained in terms of other cognitive, neurological, or perceptual deficits. Problems are characterized by a protracted rate of language development as well as particular difficulties with subcomponents of the language system (Leonard, 1998). Cognitive levels of explanations of SLI have yet to reach a consensus on whether language abilities exhibit a particularly salient impairment arising from a domain-general deficit such as processing capacity or speed (Miller, Kail, Leonard, & Tomblin, 2001) or whether the disorder represents a language-specific deficit (van der Lely, 2005). There is more agreement that the disorder is heterogeneous in terms of language profiles (Conti-Ramsden & Botting, 1999) and in the severity of expressive and receptive language impairment (Bishop, 2002).
