Abstract: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD), a common disorder in childhood, experience a variety of difficulties across not only the components of language but also in areas such as executive functions. The aim of this study is to examine and compare the visual perceptual skills of children with typical development (TD) and DLD. A total of 60 Turkish-speaking children with TD (n = 30) and DLD (n = 30) between the ages of 4;0 and 6;0 were included in the study. The analyses revealed that the visual perception subtests and total test scores of the children with TD were significantly higher than those of the children with DLD, and that there was a positive significant relationship between language skills and visual perceptual skills of children with DLD. This study has concluded that the inclusion of visual perceptual skills in both the assessment and therapy processes of children with DLD may positively affect their development.
