Mathematics teaching is one of the fundamental pillars of early childhood education. Several studies have highlighted that adequate approach at early levels can positively influence future school performance and other cognitive domains. In Chile, mathematics education is an area of concern due to local evidence and observed gaps following the pandemic. In this context, educators and educational assistance professionals are challenged to provide equal teaching opportunities for all, including preschoolers with Developmental Language Disorder, who usually only receive support in language area. This review aims to update the literature on the math skills of students with Developmental Language Disorder and to establish their possible impact on the mathematics curriculum. The main findings include identifying barriers in counting and arithmetic tasks. Finally, the learning objectives that could require more attention for their approach were recorded, and studies were identified that highlighted the potential of visual and gestural representation as a way to favor the teaching-learning of these children. Thus, the approach to early mathematical skills can contribute to the inclusion and equalization of opportunities for these students.
