developmental language impairment (DLI)
disorders in infancy and early childhood
Children with Down syndrome display language delay because their language still develops in the same sequence. In the same order, with high reliability, know which language processes are going to develop next based on the child's current level of functioning. But it just happens at a different pace than typically developing children. So that's a language delay.

Disorder is where
language does develop in the order that it does for typically developing children.
language does not develop in the order that it does for typically developing children.
N/A
difference is you see in terms of the language production or language understanding of a child is so different from typical development, then you call it a disorder.
if a delay is so
N/A
called a disorder.
far removed from the typical timeline of language development, then it's called a disorder.
look at their dominant language and whether or not it is showing signs of typical
little ones under the age of probably about five or so they present with language difficulties. Mostly, we call it a
language delay because we don't know yet.
Disorder
expectation that the child will catch up at some point in time.
words delay and disorder are synonymous
a five-year-old and they're still not producing words is a
They are just having a hard time
language delay
its a disorder.
N/a
It is up to the professional to decide whether or not what they see is something that you can call a delay, saying that they are just behind in their language development, but we expect them to catch up, or if what you think you see is actually so deviant from typical language development that no, this is not just a delay, this is really an impairment.
False
delay is so far removed from the typical timeline of language development, then it's called a disorder.
True
words delay and disorder are synonymous
words delay and disorder are synonymous
N/A

incorrect
N/A
if the difference is you see in terms of the language production or language understanding of a child is so different from typical development, then you call it

disorder
language difference
Difference:
true
non-pathological variations in the acquisition of language skills; typically seen in bilingual or bi-dialectal children who are learning languages with different rule systems
false
Do SLPs provide services for language differences in children when they are not showing delay/disorder in their dominant language?
YES
NO
A child's first lanaguage is spanish and they are learning english you can't base your identification of a language delay or disorder on their English ?
incorrect
correct
Always look at their dominant language and whether or not it is showing signs of typical development.
MAYBE
NO
YES
Does a diagnosis of language delay mean that the child can eventually catch up with his or her peers?
Yes, they will eventually catch up, but that does not mean they must do it all by themselves. They can still get services provided so they can catch up with peers
No they will not catch up, but that does not mean they must do it all by themselves. They can still get services provided so they can catch up with peers
Developmental Language Delay (DLD)
In expressive language:
In expressive language:
▫Limited vocabulary
▫Grammatical errors
▫Shorter
In expressive language:
▫Limited vocabulary
▫Grammatical errors
▫Difficulty with word recall
▫Shorter/less complex sentence structure
In expressive language:
▫Difficulty with word recall
▫Shorter/less complex sentence structure
limited vocabulary, so they don't know as many words as other kids their age.
incorrect
correct
limited vocab
could be due to lots of different factors.
examples:
- due to possibly a language impairment or a language disorder that is manifesting as a delay right now because the child isn't really old enough or maybe they're not as far behind their typically developing peers.
-it could be due to lack of exposure.
socioeconomic households
Because they aren't listening
Difficulty with word recall
expressive language:
kids in the low SES homes heard so many fewer words, just words overall than the kids in the high SES homes.
True
False
kids in the higher SES homes who heard lots of different words and lots more words when they were infants had higher vocabularies in third grade.
correct
incorrect
kids who have a developmental language delay will often use very less complex sentence structures
YES
NO
Developmental Language Delay (DLD)
•Mixed receptive/expressive delay:
All the previously noted symptoms
▫Difficulty with certain types of terminology (e.g., spatial terms)
All the previously noted symptoms
All the previously noted symptoms
▫Difficulty understanding words or sentences
▫Difficulty with certain types of terminology (e.g., spatial terms)
Mixed receptive/expressive
receptive language is
developmental language delay
what a child understands
ex-when you talk to them, do they understand all the words that you're saying? Can they follow directions?
higher SES homes
limited vocabulary
Developmental Language Delay (DLD)
interferes with social communication only
interferes with test only
Identified by standardized testing
•Interferes with academic/occupational function
•Interferes with social communication
•May co-occur with intellectual disabilities, sensory deficits, autism, environmental deprivation
standardized testing allows us to know.
what typical scores are for any age, and the ages are very finite in detail.
May co-occur with intellectual disabilities, sensory deficits, autism, environmental deprivation
academic/occupational function
take a kid who's three years two months old and the test will help you compare them to other three-year two-month-old kids.
language disorder example
standardized testing
example
language delay example
tests give you sort of just a broad overview of what the child is doing in terms of language, both expressive and receptive.
correct
incorrect
Standardized testing will
won't help at all
tell you that the child has a disorder
give you a way to tell whether or not the child that you are providing services to is developing typically.
if their language delay is affecting how well they are doing in school, then it's an issue.
FALSE
TRUE
Developmental language delays interfere with social communication.
correct
incorrect
Developmental language delays can co-occur with intellectual disabilities, sensory deficits, specifically hearing loss, autism, and environmental deprivation, example- like genie.
N/A
YES
NO
DLD in pre-linguistic children
•Limited vocalization
•Fewer referential and conventional gestures
•Less joint attention
•Less social interaction
•Limited vocalization
•Fewer referential and conventional gestures
•Less social interaction
Less social interaction
developmental language delay looks different in pre-linguistic children and in older children, preschool age children and school age children
FALSE
TRUE
pre-linguistic really means that the child isn't yet using formal language; they are using formal symbol-based language like words.What types of symbol-based language children typically do ?
only hand gestures
talking
pointing and vocalizing and gesturing and doing those kinds of things to communicate.
joint attention means:
gestures
language delay
two people are looking and are attending to the same thing
What might occur if there isn't joint attention with children
They will be fine
less joint attention, you've got less language learning and less social interaction because of the language difficulties that occur.
No
yes
For toddlers, social interaction is so important because you're learning about language and You're learning about how things work and how people work.
CORRECT
INCORRECT
DLD at the one word stage:
-Failure to develop words until around 18-24 months
-Delay in comprehension of single words and simple phrases
single words
simple phrases
DLD in the early linguistic stage:
--Difficulty developing vocabulary
--Slow to use words in combination
--Limited receptive vocabulary
--Poor comprehension of words and phrases
--Speech sound production errors
cognitive control thinking skills
Planning & Organization
DLD in the preschool years:
frontal lobe
Emotional control:
--Problems with acquisition of morphological markers (e.g., -ing, -ed)
--Failure to acquire complex verb forms (e.g., auxiliaries, modals)
--Failure to acquire more complex syntactic forms (e.g., embedded clauses)
DLD in kindergarten:
-Difficulties at all levels of language use:
Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics
-Problems learning to read
-Impaired social interactions
Sends information
Support and protect
So developmental language delay at this stage you'll see failure to develop words until after
no
yes
18 month period from 18 to 24 months
kids at this stage who have developmental language delay might have a difficult time understanding things like
where's your water?
correct
give me your bear
incorrect
Developmental language delay entails
smiling
laughing
difficulty developing vocabulary
