Background: Children without other causes of language delay, such as deafness, intellectual disability, neurological impairment and major emotional problem, or socioeconomic disadvantage, may be affected by specific language impairment (SLI), a communication disorder. A child's language skills (including those of speaking, listening, reading, and writing) might be negatively affected by SLI. Objective: Review of the literature on Specific language impairment. Methods: We scoured scholarly papers and databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct for information on specific language disability. Only the latest or most comprehensive study between March 2000 and September 2022 was considered. The authors also analysed references from similar literature. Documents written in languages other than English have been overlooked because of a lack of funding to translate them. Unpublished articles, oral presentations, conference abstracts, and dissertations were all generally agreed upon not to constitute legitimate scientific investigation. Conclusion: About 8% of kindergarteners have specific language impairment, making it one of the most prevalent developmental disorders. Numerous global studies show that anywhere between seven and fifteen percent of preschool and school-aged children are developing language and literacy skills at a slower rate than their classmates. Children with SLI may have auditory processing or processing difficulties due to interactions between spoken and non-verbal brain substrates.
