Resum

Assessment of learning potential in children with specific language impairment. Although the term Specific Language Impairment (SLI) has been questioned, especially due to the specific component, the reality is that its current use is widespread, even though sometimes people resort to other denominations, such as developmental language disorder. The main purpose of this study is to determine the profile of two groups of children with SLI and evaluate their learning potential. This article describes a study in which a scale to assess learning potential is used, which is applied to 20 preschool children with specific language impairment, named by their teachers and used as a control group, and 32 with specific language impairment that receive the assessment procedure for learning potential (experimental group). The results showed that there were no significant differences in the pretest situation between the two groups in all of the subscales, and regarding the second aim we saw that the experimental group improved significantly in visual memory, sequential pattern completion, verbal planning and perspective taking, whereas in the control group there were no significant differences.
