The book explores deficits in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and developmental dyslexia, providing insights into diagnosis and intervention. It begins with an examination of metalinguistic difficulties, syntax, and morphological challenges faced by children with SLI, alongside commentaries that question our understanding of these impairments. The text discusses perceptual and cognitive deficits, social consequences, and the relationship between speech-language impairments and reading disabilities. Each chapter is complemented by expert commentary, offering diverse perspectives on the implications of these disorders. In the second part, the focus shifts to written language disorders, particularly developmental dyslexia. The implications of the Pittsburgh Study are analyzed concerning risk factors, while the Bielefeld Screening is assessed for its predictive capabilities regarding reading and spelling difficulties. Two longitudinal studies on developmental dyslexia and early reading development are presented, with commentary highlighting their conceptual richness.

Overall, the work provides a comprehensive overview of language and literacy ch
