Certain conditions such as environment can influence the linguistic characteristics of the child. This study aimed to examine the syntax comprehension of Persian language speaking children among foster families and typically-developing children.<br> <strong>&nbsp;Methods:</strong> 72 Persian speaking children living in orphanages between the ages 4 to 6 and 75 typically-developing 4 to 6 year-old children were assessed by the Persian syntax comprehension test. This test measures 24 syntactic constructs of Persian language in 96 items. Also, the Mann-Whitney Test was used to compare the groups.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Results:</strong> Given the results of the Persian syntax comprehension test, the mean syntax compression score of children living in orphanages were significantly lower than those of typically-developing children (P<0.05).&nbsp;<br> <strong>Conclusion:</strong>The foster children should be more paid attention to, in order to particularly enhance their syntax comprehension.&nbsp;<br> &nbsp;</span> Orphanage, Syntax comprehension, Language, Foster children, Typically-developing children 45 53 http://fdj.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-84-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Ali Jafari Naimi علی جعفری نعیمی alijafarinaimi@yahoo.com 10031947532846001135 10031947532846001135 No MSc Student, Speech Pathology Department, Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran دانشجوی کارشناسی ارشد، گروه گفتاردرمانی، دانشکدۀ علوم توان‌بخشی، دانشگاه علوم‌ پزشکی ایران، تهران، ایران Zohre Arani Kashani زهره آرانی کاشانی Arani.kashani.z@iums.ac.ir 10031947532846001136 10031947532846001136 No Assistant Professor, Speech Pathology Department of Speech & Language Pathology, Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences, Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS), Tehran, Iran استادیار، گروه گفتار درمانی، دانشکدۀ علوم توان‌بخشی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی ایران، تهران، ایران Reyhane Mohamadi ریحانه محمدی mohamadi.r@iums.ac.ir 10031947532846001137 10031947532846001137 Yes Assistant Professor, Speech Pathology Department of Speech & Language Pathology, Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences, Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS), Tehran, Iran استادیار، گروه گفتار درمانی، دانشکدۀ علوم توان‌بخشی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی ایران، تهران، ایران Mahboobeh Rasouli محبوبه رسولی mahrasouli@gmail.com 10031947532846001138 10031947532846001138 No Assistant Professor, Department of Biostatistics, Faculty of Public Health, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran استادیار، گروه آمار زیستی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی ایران، تهران، ایران
