Can severe language disorders be identified before age 3;6?
(1996) In Logopedics Phoniatrics Vocology 21(1). p.37-42- Abstract

The amount of language therapy the children had received was calculated and related to the type and severity of the language disorder. Our results indicate that the DLD children, who initially had general language problems performed worse on reassessment than children with expressive problems. More extensive... (More)

According to follow-up data they had, however, not received more therapy than children with more restricted disorders. (Less)
