“…Since language develops in a comparative manner, the early development of language, EF and ToM plausibly interact in an empowering or inhibitive manner. In this way, recent authors have argued that the deficits in EF and ToM in individuals with DLD can be explained by the problems in the synthetization of language with precursors of EF and ToM (22)(23)(24).…”

Adolescents with Developmental Language Disorders (DLD) have more difficulties in social emotional functioning than their typically developing peers (TD), such as shyness and anxiety in social situations, fewer peer relations, greater risk of victimization, social isolation and depression. In addition, they are more likely to report higher levels of hyperactivity and conduct problems. These problems derive from a complex interplay between difficulties in language, social communication, underlying cognitive deficits in Theory of Mind (ToM), Executive Functioning (EF) and self-directed speech (SDS). The aim of this mini review is to provide an overview of studies examining the effectiveness of interventions targeting the factors underlying social emotional functioning of school-aged children and adolescents with DLD. We found that studies dedicated to social emotional functioning in school-aged children and adolescents with DLD were relatively scarce. Based on this overview, we give suggestions to improve social emotional functioning in adolescents with DLD. We propose that intervention programs should target the social, linguistic and cognitive functions underlying social emotional functioning and create opportunities to practice these skills in daily, real-life situations with peers.

The article highlights the issue of interdisciplinary links in speech therapy, in particular, the philosophy of language. Given that the number of children with special educational needs is increasing, the relevance of the article is indeed justified. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the problem in question more in detail. The article aims to a) clarify such concepts as “language”, “philosophy of language”, “hermeneutics”, “speech therapy”, b) analyze an interdisciplinary approach to preventing and correcting speech disorders in children and adults and c) study the causes of such disorders. Research methods include a detailed analysis of scientific sources, as well as a systematic analysis. As shown by the relevant recent work in this area, the interaction of methods from neurology, neurophysiology and neuropsychology contributes to restoring the functional system of language and speech. Speech disorders are mostly typical for people diagnosed with autism, attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity disorder, Huntington’s disease, sclerosis, dementia, and mouth or throat cancer. The novelty lies in the fact that speech therapists should be able to use neurostimulation technologies in the course of corrective work. In conclusion, speech therapy should follow an interdisciplinary approach so that specialists can make an effective diagnosis of speech disorders in children and adults.

“…Also, labeling allows the word and the associated mental image (signified and signifier) to be used separately which allows language to be disengaged from direct perception, enabling more flexible cognition including EF ( Toomela, 2003 ). It’s suggested that in children with developmental language disorder and deaf/hard of hearing children, EF deficits could be related to the mentioned property of language allowing the construction of non-sensory representations resulting from the distinction between signified and signifier ( Camminga et al, 2021 ).…”

The Directionality of the Relationship Between Executive Functions and Language Skills: A Literature Review

It has been demonstrated that executive functions play a significant role in different aspects of the development of children. Development of language is also one of the most important accomplishments of the preschool years, and it has been linked to many outcomes in life. Despite substantial research demonstrating the association between executive function and language development in childhood, only a handful of studies have examined the direction of the developmental pathways between EF skills and language skills, therefore little is known about how these two constructs are connected. In this review paper, we discuss three possible directional relationships between EFs and language development throughout childhood. First, we discuss how EF might affect language functioning. Next, we discuss how language functioning might affect EF. Lastly, we consider other possible relationships between EF and language. Given that children with better EF and language skills are more likely to succeed in educational settings and demonstrate greater social–emotional competencies, investigating the relationship between EF and language in the preschool period provides insight into mechanisms that have not been extensively studied. Furthermore, it could create new opportunities for designing effective and efficient interventions aimed at addressing EF and language deficits during the preschool period which could in turn influence later development.
