Eine Studie bei Kindern mit spezifischer Sprachentwicklungstörung

This study reports longitudinal follow-up of 300 children with SLI (specific language impairment). In our children with more typical SLI language comprehension is impaired, but the most obvious problems are with expressive syntax and phonology. Their expressive disturbances are a manifestation of their decoding impairment. At the heart of SLI there is an impairment of auditory perception. Auditory-phonological processing presents the heterogenity of specific language impairment. Identification of speech sounds appears to be a problem for all groups of children with SLI. These children were investigated on battery of tests of spoken language, of phonological processing, of different audiometric procedures - in order to register all information necessary to judge the speech development
