Document Summary
Language disorders in children 1 and 2 (chapter 8) Child language disorders: definition: a significant deficit in learning to talk, understand, and/or use any aspect of language appropriately relative to both environmental and norm-referenced expectations for children of similar developmental level, not speech, focused on language. 68% in normal language development (1 sd) smaller segments as you move to the left 3 sd will be one of the worst/only. This reduced competency alone is not a communication disorder. Code switching shifting of speech and language patterns in certain situations. Different dialects, does not equal a disorder, variations in language form observed in dialects are rule governed, they dictate correct use of these forms. Go down the shore for the weekend is fine. Bilingual language is best characterized on a continuum with varying levels of competence for each language, even if they don"t know certain words in one they often have a large lexicon of both languages combined.
