Introduction: Word retrieval problems are among the limitations observed in children with specific language impairment during the initial schooling years.

These problems are the predictors of reading problems and poor performance at school. Most studies in Persian-speaker children with specific language impairment have focused on syntax and morphology and the naming errors profile of these children ar...
