  • Title: Adults with language-learning disabilities: new challenges and changing perspectives.
    Author: Kleinman SN, Bashir AS.
    Journal: Semin Speech Lang; 1996 Aug; 17(3):201-15; quiz 215-6. PubMed ID: 8912436.
    Abstract:
    As children and adolescents mature into adult life, their language-learning disabilities continue. Consequently, the view that language-learning disabilities are limited to the school years must be changed. This article reviews our understanding of adults with language-learning disabilities. Ecological and context-specific perspectives are presented to provide a framework for understanding the chronic and persistent nature of these disabilities across the lifespan. Descriptors of language-learning disorders in adults are provided that focus the clinician on observable behaviors to guide the process of assessment and intervention planning.
