Language is often viewed as one of the signal attributes of humans. It is a universal property of humans that is acquired easily during early childhood with no formal instruction. During this time some children are more adept at language learning than others. These individual differences in language development have the potential of affecting children’s wellbeing. This talk will provide an overview of a 10-year longitudinal study of the outcomes associated with individual differences in language during the school years.
