AimTo evaluate Perceptual visual skills in delayed language developed children.Material and methodsThe relation between visual skills and language has not been rigorously examined in previous investigations. This is a case-control study which comprised of 25 preschool children with Delayed Language Development (DLD) (cases) and 25 typically developed children (control). Exclusion criteria: any neurological or visual impaired disorder. All children had undergone Intelligent Quotient (I.Q) using Stanford Binet (IV edition), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder Test (ADHDT) and Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA). The performance of cases was surprisingly superior to the performance of controls in all visual skills. Moreover, it was significantly different in visual closure (P value=0.027) and visual memory (P value=0.005).ConclusionReading disorders that may develop in children with DLD are more related to language than to visual skills. DLD has some strong perceptual skills such as visual closure and visual memory. This should be taken in consideration while planning a strategy for language therapy.
