“…Although there are different models of the relation between dyslexia and DLD, the current consensus is that these disorders frequently co-occur but have distinct etiologies (e.g., Adlof & Hogan, 2018;Pennington & Bishop, 2009;Ramus, Marshall, Rosen, & van der Lely, 2013;Wong, Kidd, Ho, & Au, 2010). Despite the focus on poor word reading in children with dyslexia, studies of children with dyslexia and children with DLD show that both of these groups have poor oral word learning (Alt & Plante, 2006;Alt et al, 2017;Gray, 2004;McGregor, Newman, Reilly, & Capone, 2002;Oetting, Rice, & Swank, 1995;Thomson & Goswami, 2010;Voelmle & Storkel, 2015). However, studies of both groups often fail to account for the high rate of comorbidity of dyslexia and DLD (Adlof & Hogan, 2018), making it difficult to know the source of these difficulties.…”
