Spatial Impairments

Sharon Berman from UC San Diego discusses a specific language impairment affecting some deaf children, which hinders their ability to use space effectively in sign language. This impairment has been observed by teachers and parents, but only recently have tools been developed to study it. A case study by David Quinto Pozo highlights a child struggling with spatial setup in sign language. The research aims to understand the nature of this difficulty and its implications for brain function.
