AB The article is about speech and language therapy topic. The aim of the paper was to assess laterality, articulation and sentence comprehension in a girl (Monika) with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). We were interested in finding whether and how the degree of laterality, articulation and sentence comprehension changed within six, seven and three years, respectively. We researched areas with persisting deficits that can be an obstacle in Monika's education, choice of profession and possible career paths. There are specific symptoms in language area of persons with SLI persisting to adulthood, such as deficits in processing and understanding (comprehension) of spoken and written language. These difficulties could be a disadvantage in successful education and choosing the job.
