Children with SLI are typically diagnosed during preschool or kindergarten, as this is when language deficits become more apparent in comparison to normally developing peers. Diagnosing SLI earlier than this can be difficult as infants and toddlers may not have developed language abilities to a level that can be compared to others their age, and high school-aged children with SLI may have developed compensatory strategies that mask their language difficulties.
