Language disorders video series

Identifying a language disorder can be difficult because the symptoms may suggest something else, such as autism, cognitive disabilities, auditory processing disorders or a hearing problem.

With generous support from the Kim and John Schlifske Child Development Fund, a language disorders video was created to educate professionals about the symptoms and impact of language disorders on children's behavior and development at different ages.

We now have a follow-up video, Invisible Obstacles: Language Disorders in Older Children.

In these videos, you will learn the following:

Video #1: Understanding Language Disorders

• What a language disorder is
• What it looks like at different ages
• Where to go for help if you suspect a child has a language disorder
  

Video #2: Invisible Obstacles: Language Disorders in Older Children

• See the struggles that older children and adolescents with language disorders may face
• Learn how to recognize the role that language disorders play within academic and social deficits as children continue in school
• The importance of treatment and reason for optimism as students enter adolescence and beyond
