Music skills of Spanish-speaking children with developmental language disorder. Research in Developmental Disabilities, 140. doi.org/10.1016/J.RIDD.2023.104575 This research studied the music skills of Spanish-speaking children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) in comparison with typically developing peers matched for chronological age.

Their rhythm discrimination, melody discrimination and music memory skills were assessed as well as several language abilities. Children with DLD exhibited significantly lower performance than their typically-developing peers on all three music subtests. Music and language skills were significantly related in both groups.
