Abstract

Children with SLI (Speech Language Impairment) have difficulty with the comprehension and expression of language. SLI is distinct and separate from intellectual ability and children with SLI have non-verbal IQs within the normal range. Many children with SLI have not only language deficits, but social deficits as well.
