Purpose: The CATALISE group (Bishop, Snowling, Thompson, Greenhalgh, & CATALISE Consortium, 2016; Bishop, Snowling, Thompson, Greenhalgh, & CATALISE-2 Consortium, 2017) recommended that the term "developmental language disorder" (DLD) be used to refer to neurodevelopmental language deficit.

This study (a) examines the role of cognitive abilities, age and vocabulary in the development of definitions and (b) compares the development of definitions (in content and form) in children with and without Developmental Language Disorder (DLD).

Bishop, Dorothy V. M.; Snowling, Margaret J.; Thompson, Paul A.; Greenhalgh, Trisha – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2017
Background: Lack of agreement about criteria and terminology for children's language problems affects access to services as well as hindering research and practice. We report the second phase of a study using an online Delphi method to address these issues. In the first phase, we focused on criteria for language disorder. Here we consider…

Storkel, Holly L.; Komesidou, Rouzana; Pezold, Mollee J.; Pitt, Adrienne R.; Fleming, Kandace K.; Romine, Rebecca Swineburn – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2019
Purpose: The goal was to determine whether interactive book reading outcomes for children with developmental language disorder (DLD) were affected by manipulation of dose (i.e., the number of exposures to the target word during a book reading session) and dose frequency (i.e., the number of repeated book reading sessions) and whether pretreatment…

McGregor, Karla K.; Berns, Amanda J.; Owen, Amanda J.; Michels, Sarah A.; Duff, Dawna; Bahnsen, Alison J.; Lloyd, Melissa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2012
Five groups of children defined by presence or absence of syntactic deficits and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) took vocabulary tests and provided sentences, definitions, and word associations. Children with ASD who were free of syntactic deficits demonstrated age-appropriate word knowledge. Children with ASD plus concomitant syntactic language…

Campbell, Wenonah N.; Skarakis-Doyle, Elizabeth – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2007
Reports of associated disabilities among children with specific language impairment (SLI) and children with other developmental disabilities are widespread. Clinicians require a broader definition of SLI that recognizes associated disabilities because it is their goal to impact children's everyday functioning. In this paper, we explore SLI from a…
