TL;DR: At school entry, approximately two children in every class of 30 pupils will experience language disorder severe enough to hinder academic progress, and access to specialist clinical services should not depend on NVIQ.

TL;DR: The findings support the idea that gesture and language form one integrated communication system, rather than two separate communication modalities, which implies that children with SLI may have underlying deficits that impact not only on language but also on gesture production and comprehension.

TL;DR: The results support the notion that gesture and language form a tightly linked communication system in which gesture deficits are seen alongside difficulties with spoken communication and the quality, not quantity of gestures that distinguish children with LI from typical peers.

TL;DR: This study uses data from three LMIC cohorts to test the feasibility, validity and reliability of EF assessment in adults using three sub-tests of the NIH Toolbox Cognitive battery, providing evidence for a set of sound measures of EF that could be used across different cultural, language and socio-economic backgrounds in future LMIC research.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the associations between early-life stature, child IQ, and adult IQ, including interaction effects among the early-childhood measures and schooling, using multivariable linear models.
