Background and aimsThe ability to communicate is a fundamental skill required to participate in school. Students with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) have persistent and significant language difficulties that impact daily functioning. However, the impact of DLD on the academic achievement of primary and secondary school-aged students has received limited attention.MethodsA systematic review of the empirical research published between 2008 and 2020 was undertaken to identify studies that have examined the academic achievement of school-aged students with DLD within curriculum areas. A total of 44 studies were identified that met inclusion criteria for review.ResultsStudents with DLD demonstrated difficulties with academic achievement across all measured curriculum areas compared to their typically developing peers. Most studies focused on literacy skills, including reading, spelling, writing and narratives.Conclusions and implicationsThe performance of students with DLD was heterogeneous with individual students demonstrating relative strengths in some areas of academic achievement. The implications of these results for educational practices and future research are discussed.

背景和目标沟通能力是上学所需的一项基本技能。患有发育性语言障碍 (DLD) 的学生有持续且严重的语言困难，影响日常功能。然而，DLD 对中小学学龄学生学业成绩的影响受到的关注有限。在课程领域内患有 DLD 的学生。总共确定了 44 项符合审查纳入标准的研究。结果与正常发展的同龄人相比，患有 DLD 的学生在所有测量的课程领域都表现出学业成绩方面的困难。大多数研究侧重于识字技能，包括阅读、拼写、写作和叙述。结论和影响患有 DLD 的学生的表现是异质的，个别学生在学业成就的某些领域表现出相对优势。讨论了这些结果对教育实践和未来研究的影响。
