Abstract

Children identified as special needs have many characteristics similar to those identified in typically developing children. These children may take longer to develop their speech, while others may have disabilities that are not recognized at birth but may become more apparent over time, and still others may experience difficulties in school, ranging from problems with concentration, learning, language, and perception to problems with behavior. This article provides a framework for understanding terms/concepts concerning normal speech and language development, communication, language disorders, and language differences. In addition, it expresses ways in which professionals may collaborate with families/primary caregivers to provide adequate services for students experiencing language difficulties in school programs. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
