- Language-Based Learning Disabilities - ASHA
Language-based learning disabilities interfere with age-appropriate reading, spelling, and/or
writing. This disorder does not impair intelligence; in fact, most people diagnosed with learning
disabilities possess average to superior intelligence. Learning disabilities are caused by a
difference in brain structure that is present at birth, is often hereditary, and often related to
specific language problems.

- Late Blooming or Language Problem? ASHA
Parents are smart. They listen to their child talk and know how he or she communicates.
They also listen to his or her playmates who are about the same age and may even
remember what older brothers and sisters did at the same age. Then the parents
mentally compare their child's performance with the performance of these other
children. What results is an impression of whether or not their child is developing
speech and language at a normal rate.
