DLD terminology

Recently ASHA published a special issue discussing the terminology for children with language disorders: developmental language disorders (DLD) vs. specific language impairment (SLI).
 On the weekend, Dorothy Bishop who lead the research to standardize the term DLD wrote about errors in the definition of DLD that was used in the ASHA special issue: http://deevybee.blogspot.com/2020/02/changing-terminology-for-childrens.html
