    Journal Article

    Sebastian discuss et al discuss their study on semantic and syntactic deficits in Malayam-speaking children with learning disability. The prevalence of speech and language delay among children has been studied by researchers, with reported rates ranging from 2.3 to 19 percent depending on the definition and population studied. Long-term consequences of language impairment on school performance have also been investigated, with findings suggesting that language difficulties persist into adolescence and can lead to academic difficulties. Additionally, children with dyslexia may exhibit weaker language skills compared to their typically developing peers. The study aims to compare the language skills of school-going children with learning disabilities to those of their typically developing peers. The objective is to understand the different aspects of language in these two groups. The study will focus on children between the ages of 5 and 9 years.
