Describe the language differences that emerge from early childhood through the early school-age years. Cite an example of a gender difference, communication difficulties that are part of normal language development, and an example of disability.
What will be an ideal response?
The answers should state that children exhibit individual differences in rate of language development and word acquisition, for example, referential and expressive styles, as well as girls typically developing larger vocabularies than boys, although the differences are small. They should recognize that articulation and fluency issues are developmentally normal, and that language impairments sometimes emerge.
