NAVIGATING SPECIFIC LANGUAGE IMPAIRMENTS: INSIGHTS FROM LANGUAGE PROFESSIONALS AND NEUROSCIENCE
Main Article Content
Keywords
Neuroeducation, developmental phases, linguistic levels, techniques, specific language disorders
Abstract
Objective: This study aims to ascertain the value and potential applications of neuroscience in aiding
minors with Specific Language Impairments (SLI), focusing on linguistic levels, techniques, and
developmental milestones.
Methods: Language professionals participated in a survey comprising closed-ended and open-ended
questions regarding language development, neurobiology, and minors' learning of DSL. Participants
included psychologists, speech therapists, and hearing and speech specialists.
Results: Findings underscore the significance of early intervention, particularly at the lexical and
syntactic levels, to foster expressive abilities. Active methodologies are recommended to enhance
motivation for learning, with particular emphasis on the developmental stage between 2 and 6 years.
Conclusion: Leveraging neuroscience in early childhood education and language development
facilitates tailored interventions, accommodating individual needs and fostering successful learning
outcomes for minors with Specific Language Impairments.
