Specific Language Disorder (SLD)

Specific language disorder (SLD) in children is characterised by difficulties with language acquisition and use that are not explained by other cognitive or developmental factors. Children with SLD may struggle with vocabulary, grammar, and language comprehension, which can impact academic performance and social interactions. Early identification and intervention are crucial for improving long-term outcomes for children with SLD.
