Summary/Abstract: The current review provides a concise qualitative overview of how language develops in typically developing children in comparison to developmental deficits which adversely affect language, with a focus on language impairment (Developmental Language Disorder) andautism spectrum disorder (ASD). The review traces the main stages in language acquisition and observed trajectories in typical children and children with developmental deficits. The main factors which impact on language development are highlighted and seen in the context of language outcomes. The review covers research across languages and cultures, and across populations of speakers.
