The main objective of this paper is to reflect on some current issues about the Specific Language Impairment (SLI), as a result of our research work carried out lately and the new challenges we have faced up to. Firstly, we go through the key aspects in the conceptualization of this impairment. Secondly, we analyze the problems associated with assessment and we proposed some instruments to be used for early identification. Finally, we suggest a working approach based on different levels of intervention, on professional collaboration and on the combination of procedures and strategies.
