Abstract
Introduction and objectives: Syntax is one of the most altered areas in Specific Language Disorder (SLD), not only at the productive level, but also and especially at the level of comprehension. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the syntactic comprehension in children with SLD.
Material and methods: The participants were 20 children between 4 and 11 years old distributed in two groups. The first group consisted of 10 children with a diagnosis of SLD and the second group consisted of 10 children with typical development (TD) and matched in chronological age. Both groups were evaluated with the Grammar Structure Comprehension (CEG) test.
Results: The results obtained show that children with SLD show more errors in all syntactic comprehension items compared to children with TD.
Conclusions: It is necessary to work comprehensive syntax in parallel with productive syntax to improve the language skills of people with TEL.
