“…Children with higher hyperactivity/impulsivity may be left out of peer interactions, as they are more likely to dominate conversations, interrupt, go off on a tangent, and speak only about topics of their interest. 43 Hyperactive/impulsive, but not inattentive, symptoms may evoke negative responses from others. Children with high levels of hyperactive/impulsive symptoms could be singled out as disruptive and nonconforming to school rules, which may affect how they are perceived by other peers in the classroom.…”

“…A wide range of neuropsychiatric disorders has been reported in children from preschool to school ages, and in some cases continues into adolescence and adulthood (Chan & Fugard, 2018). In addition of symptoms in first episodes of mental disorders, other conditions frequently co-occur, such as anxiety, conduct, and learning disorders, but more importantly for this review, speech, language, and communication difficulties (SLCDs), which are among the most common (Chan & Fugard, 2018).…”

“…Language problems are more frequent in boys than girls and in individuals who have a family history with language or speech delays and reading problems (Moreno-Flagge, 2013; Barragán & Lozano, 2011). Language and communication difficulties can be attributed to several causes, ranging from a physical disability to a learning difficulty, often due to deficits in cognitive functioning (Chan & Fugard, 2018).…”

Background. From the first reports of the linguist Noam Chomsky it has become clear that the development of language has an important genetic component. Several reports in families have shown the relationship between language disorders and genetic polymorphisms. The FOXP2 gene has been a fundamental piece for the understanding of language development. This gene codes for a transcription factor containing a forkhead domain of DNA binding and participates in the regulation of the expression of a large number of genes involved in the embryonic development of fundamental neuronal structures needed for the development of speech and language. Objective. To present an updated view of the relationship between FOXP2 and language alterations in psychiatric pathology. Method. Narrative review of information reported in databases on the recent advances supporting genetic participation in language disorders of psychiatric illness. Results. Update of content related to FOXP2 and its participation in language alterations in psychiatric diseases. Discussion and conclusion. Advances in the genetic study of language disorders in psychiatric pathology open up new avenues of investigation that allow us to explore how language emerged and how it evolved, as well as to carry out comparative studies on the structure and functioning of genes to approach the understanding of this complex characteristic that makes us human.

“…Cerebral palsy, a leading cause of motor abnormalities, is marked by abnormal muscle tone, posture, and movement (8). Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurobehavioral condition affecting 4-12% of schoolaged children, influencing academic success, well-being, and social interactions; speech-language and communication difficulties are often concurrent (9,10). Children with mental retardation and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) may exhibit abnormal speech development levels, necessitating assessments by speech-language pathologists for accurate diagnosis and treatment (11,12).…”

Background: Speech and language disorders in young children can have substantial impacts on their social, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive development. Understanding the prevalence and risk factors associated with these disorders is crucial for early intervention and effective treatment strategies. Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors of speech and language disorders in young children presenting to a Pediatric Rehabilitation Ward, to identify the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics associated with these conditions, and to evaluate the therapy patterns utilized in management. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted at the Pediatric Rehabilitation Ward of Liaquat University Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro Hospital, from May to August 2022. A total of 400 patients, aged 2-10 years and diagnosed with speech-language disorders by a psychiatrist, were included through non-probability convenience sampling. Data on demographics, socioeconomic status, therapy patterns, and diagnostic information were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Results: The study found that language delay was the most prevalent disorder, affecting 61.8% of the children. Males were more frequently affected (68.5%). Seizures were the most commonly reported medical condition in the sample (18.5%). The mean age at diagnosis was 3.58 years. A considerable number of children (38.0%) had a positive family history of speech-language disorders. Socioeconomic analysis revealed that a majority of the children (68%) came from middle-class families. The study also found that combined speech and behavioral therapy was the most common treatment approach (28.8%). Conclusion: Language delay is the most common speech-language disorder among children in this study, with a higher prevalence in males and those from middle-class families. Early detection and a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, including both speech and behavioral therapy, are imperative for effective management.
