Why is it important to distingh between language disorders and language differences?
Failure to differentiate correctly between a language difference and a disorder has serious implications for educational practice. For instance, consider an instance in which a 6-year-old child’s pragmatic patterns seem very different from those of her peers; perhaps she is slow to initiate conversations with other children or adults, and she never answers a direct question. During conversations, she does not use eye contact and seems unable to take turns. On the one hand, these behaviors could signify the presence of a serious language disorder; perhaps the child does not answer questions because she cannot understand them, for example. On the other hand, these same behaviors could signify a language difference. Perhaps the child comes from a home in which patterns of language use are quite different from mainstream patterns, such that children are considered rude if they initiate conversations with others, converse freely with adults, and use direct eye contact. Failure to differentiate accurately between language disorders and language differences can lead to overidentification of children from minority backgrounds for special education services as well as the opposite (failure to identify children who truly need support for a language disability).
