چکیده
This paper is a critical review of the existing literature examining the validity of nonverbal intelligence as an exclusionary criterion used to categorize children as having specific language impairment. Following the completion of a computerized database search seven articles meeting the inclusion criteria were included for analysis. Study designs include: nonrandomized control trials (between groups and mixed), within group (repeated measures), and expert opinion articles. Overall, research does not support the use of nonverbal intelligence scores as an exclusionary criterion used to categorize children as having specific language impairment. A discussion of clinical recommendations is included.
