Abstract [Introduction] Developmental language disorders have traditionally been defined, studied, and treated by speech-language professionals. Developmental reading disabilities, on the other hand, have historically been the purview of researchers and practitioners in psychology and education. In the past two decades, there has been increasing recognition by both communities that it is not unusual for a single individual to encounter difficulties in acquiring both oral and written language. We will briefly review these findings, and will discuss some of the unresolved questions about the nature of the presumed relationship between language disorders and reading disabilities.
