[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 85753, member: 23"] (LI = language impairment) Interesting excerpt: "Individual case studies. The information revealed by large group longitudinal studies is invaluable.

Because the category of LI is highly heterogeneous, it is likely that the performance of very different individuals is averaged together in any group study of these children.
