Summary

This study looks at how children with developmental language disorder (DLD) learn patterns in speech and grammar. Researchers want to see if a general difficulty with learning sequences links problems with sounds and sentence structure. The goal is to create better, earlier tests and therapies. About 400 children, ages 4 to 8, with and without language disorders, will take part.
