with Developmental Disorders, written by Tracy Packiam Alloway, Gnanathusharan Rajendran, and Lisa M. D. Archibald, was designed to test for the differences in working memory skills in children with various developmental disorders, such as Specific Language Impairment (SLI), Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Asperger’s Syndrome (AS), and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). The study consisted of one-hundred and sixty-three participants, whose parents all signed consent forms for

movements that a normal developing child learns with ease are difficult for a child with apraxia of speech. The cause of childhood apraxia of speech is unknown. However, individuals believe some possible causes include genetic disorders, neurological impairment due to stroke or brain injury and or other syndromes such as Autism or Fragile X. Due to the limited data available regarding CAS it is difficult to quantify the number of individuals who have CAS. It has been noted that CAS is on the rise, but

Data must be showed that proves that the student has been exposed to appropriate instruction before the referral process was initiated and has moved through the appropriate Tiers of intervention and instruction. Interventions and instruction have been in the general education

Pragmatics of language in the broad autism phenotype Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder primarily characterized by impairments in social-communication and interaction as well as restricted repetitive patterns of behaviours (DSM-V). It has a strong genetic component and thus, relatives of children with ASD are at a higher risk for the disorder. Sometimes, the core features of the disorder are present in other family members albeit in much milder forms. Such conditions

Most children diagnosed with Autism has some sort of communication difficulties. Many do not talk at all, but many are also high functioning Autistic children who speak to others frequently. Children who have language impairments with Autism and those with Specific Language Impairment have similarities and differences. The common feature of Autism with LI and SLI children is that both of the groups have pragmatic difficulties that they would miss the intended implication delivered between words
