Language impairment is a disabling condition, thought to affect between 7% and 15% of 4 year old children. It has serious and lasting implications for social and emotional development, cognition, behaviour and literacy. A link has been demonstrated between language impairment and later psychiatric disorders in adolescence and adulthood. Given the potential of enhancing the language development of young children, it is critical that effective prevention and early intervention programs are available. However, current knowledge is liminted in that there are no entirely satisfactory methods for detecting children who at much younger ages, 8 months, 12 months, 2 years and 3 years, are at risk of later impairment. In this study we aim to: examine the risk factors (many are thought to exist) that contribute to language impairment learn more about the natural history of this disabling disorder in children between 8 months and 4 years of age Ultimately, we aim to identify early signs that might warn health professionals and parents of language impairment so that such problems can be detected much earlier. Early identification will mean that help is available at an earlier age to children who currently go on to have persisting and extremely disabling language impairment.

语言障碍是一种残疾状况，被认为影响7%至15%的4岁儿童。它对社会和情感发展、认知、行为和识字有着严重和持久的影响。语言障碍与后来的青春期和成年期精神障碍之间的联系已经得到证明。鉴于促进幼儿语言发展的潜力，提供有效的预防和早期干预方案至关重要。然而，目前的知识是有限的，因为没有完全令人满意的方法来检测年龄小得多的儿童，8个月，12个月，2岁和3岁，有后期损害的风险。在这项研究中，我们的目标是：检查导致语言障碍的风险因素（许多被认为存在）了解更多关于8个月至4岁儿童的这种致残性疾病的自然史最终，我们的目标是识别早期迹象，可以警告卫生专业人员和父母语言障碍，以便更早地发现这些问题。早期识别将意味着在更早的年龄为目前继续患有持续性和极度残疾的语言障碍的儿童提供帮助。
