| can a LD occur in isolation | yes (DLD/SLI), or in the presence of another disorder (comorbid with ADHD) |
| what is DLD a subset of | the broader category of language disorders |
| prevalence of DLD 2019 | 7.5% in US (estimated over 5 million) |
| what aspects contribute to the variation in signs/symptoms of DLD | -age -severity/level of disruption -language domains affected -stage of linguistic development |
| why is there no standard signs/symptoms of DLD | there is no consistent presentation |
