Developmental disorders of language: Causes and treatments

语言和书面语的产生和理解障碍影响了15%的儿童，如果不治疗，这种障碍会持续到成年。他们受到基因的强烈影响，但却独一无二地依赖于学习。这一倡议旨在通过联合拥有从婴儿期到成年期的研究、诊断和治疗、口头和书面生产和理解以及认知和分子遗传学研究方面的专业知识的研究人员，创建一个在世界上独一无二的网络。还将建立一个治疗这些疾病的研究型诊所网络。

Disorders in the production and comprehension of spoken and written language affect 15% of children and if untreated persist through adulthood. They are powerfully influenced by genetics, but are uniquely dependent on learning. This initiative aims to create a network unique in the world by uniting researchers with expertise in research from infancy through adulthood, in diagnosis and in treatment, in spoken and written production and comprehension, and in both cognitive and molecular genetic research. A network of research-oriented clinics for the treatment of these disorders will also be established.
