This article addresses the academic difficulties of children with language disorders
(including dyslexia) and suggests that their persistent academic vulnerability
results from the lifelong need to acquire language, to learn with language, and
to apply language knowledge for academic learning and social development. The
need for continuing educational accommodation and intervention is stressed. (Author/DB)
