Comprehension deficits are seen in reading, math, and other subjects as well as oral language. These behaviors indicate difficulty with comprehension and frequently mask the problem, making one of the most significant language problems difficult to observe. It is important to recognize these problems in order to arrange appropriate intervention. Written language is the most complex aspect of language. One must formulate what to say, sequence ideas correctly, remember grammatical rules, spell words correctly, and write legibly.
Many problems can interfere with written language.
Problems in spoken vocabulary, grammar, and formulation all are reflected in written language. Intervention should begin early. If learning early reading skills is a problem, intervention will be needed again. Subtle oral language learning problems may also persist and interfere with written language. Auditory language problems can have a wide-spread impact on academic learning.
