Language-based learning disabilities (LBLD) are commonly diagnosed in schools, when typical developmental milestones have surpassed without progress. Educational instructors may notice developmental delays in students and chose to evaluate them using the Curriculum-based measurement (CBM).<ref name=":03">{{Cite web |title=Language-Based Learning Disability: What to Know {{!}} LD OnLine |url=https://www.ldonline.org/ld-topics/writing-spelling/language-based-learning-disability-what-know |access-date=2022-11-21 |website=www.ldonline.org |language=en}}</ref> Although various research has been conducted, determining the prevalence of LBLD is difficult, affecting approximating every 1 in 10 children.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=McDowell |first=Michael |date=4 July 2018 |title=Specific Learning Disability |journal=Journal of PediatricsPaediatrics and Child Health |volume=54 |issue=10|pages=1077–1083 |doi=10.1111/jpc.14168 |pmid=30294983 |s2cid=52932537 |doi-access=free }}</ref> Of the students with specific learning disabilities receiving special education services, 70–80% have a discrepancy in reading.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.verticylearning.org/language-based-learning-differences-resources | title=Resources for Language-based Learning Differences | work=Verticy Learning | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091015101402/http://www.verticylearning.org/language-based-learning-differences-resources | archivedate=October 15, 2009}}</ref> LBLD significantly affect one's ability to partake in accurate reading comprehension, phonetic awareness and linguistic deficits.<ref>{{Cite journal |lastlast1=Kida |firstfirst1=Adriana de S.

==Prognosis==

LBLD can be an enduring problem. Some people might experience overlapping learning disabilities that make improvement problematic. <ref>{{Cite journal |lastlast1=Mayes |firstfirst1=Susan D. |last2=Calhoun |first2=Susan L. |last3=Crowell |first3=Errin W. |date=2000-20092000–2009 |title=Learning Disabilities and ADHD: Overlapping Spectrum Disorders |url=http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/002221940003300502 |journal=Journal of Learning Disabilities |language=en |volume=33 |issue=5 |pages=417–424 |doi=10.1177/002221940003300502 |pmid=15495544 |s2cid=144958989 |issn=0022-2194|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Others with single disabilities often show more improvement.
