Description
This webinar will be presented by Dr Chloë Marshall, Senior Lecturer in Psychology and Human Development at the Institute of Education.
This webinar will focus on Specific Language Impairment (SLI), a developmental disorder that is much less well known than Dyslexia. SLI is parallel to Dyslexia in many ways, but affects spoken language development rather than literacy. However, many children have both SLI and Dyslexia. I will explore the characteristics of children who have SLI, why SLI is so frequently comorbid with Dyslexia, and how SLI impacts on the acquisition of literacy skills.
