Imagine you are a child with a language impairment. Examine how your developmental trajectory would be influenced by this impairment. Include detailed descriptions of your academic experiences and peer relationships

What will be an ideal response?


• Early identification of the impairment is essential. The earlier the diagnosis, the better parents and caretakers can address it.
• Children entering school, including pre-school, with language impairments, are at a disadvantage if educational system does not respond appropriately. Teachers may view them negatively. Language is crucial to reading and to communicating with adults and peers.
• Linguistic tools such as the ability to analyze social situations and organize one's thoughts are essential for self-regulation. Children without these tools may find it difficult to regulate their emotions.
• Children with language impairment are at risk for peer rejection, an important predictor of later behavior problems and delinquency.
• Language problems, if not addressed, increase frustration levels in children. This is likely to lead to aggressive and disruptive behavior at home and school.
• These problems build in a cumulative fashion as children move into their adolescent years.
