“…A number of risk factors for mental health have been examined in the DLD population. These include self-efficacy (Botting et al., 2016), bullying victimisation (van den Bedem et al., 2016; Wadman et al., 2011), poor emotional knowledge (van den Bedem et al., 2016), parenting style (Aarne, Almkvist, Mothander, & Tallberg, 2013), self-esteem (Jerome, Fujiki, Brinton, & James, 2002; Marton, Abramoff, & Rosenzweig, 2004) and shyness (Durkin, Toseeb, Botting, Pickles, & Conti-Ramsden, 2017). While all are important considerations, self-esteem and bullying victimisation are two that have received particular attention.…”

Background: Children and adolescents with a history of developmental language disorder are at elevated risk of experiencing internalising and externalising symptoms. The existing literature suggests a link between developmental language disorder, bullying victimisation and low self-esteem, both of which are negatively associated with child and adolescent mental health more generally. Aim: We examined the relationship between having a history of developmental language disorder and internalising and externalising symptoms in adolescence. We also tested whether bullying victimisation and self-esteem were associated with mental health outcomes, and whether they moderated the association between a history of developmental language disorder and psychological symptoms. Methods and procedures: Adolescents with a history of developmental language disorder (n ¼ 20, 10-16 years, 10% female, 90% male) were compared to a group of typically developing peers (n ¼ 22, 10-16 years, 36.4% female, 63.6% male). Receptive and expressive language, internalising and externalising symptoms, bullying victimisation and selfesteem were assessed with well-validated measures. Outcomes and results: Contrary to our predictions, a history of developmental language disorder was not directly associated with internalising or externalising symptoms. However, in terms of internalising symptoms, there was a significant interaction between a history of developmental language disorder and bullying victimisation (b ¼ 1.01, p ¼ .02). Specifically, there was a significant association between a history of developmental language disorder and internalising symptoms at high levels of bullying victimisation [t(41) ¼ 2.52, p ¼ .02] but not at low levels of bullying victimisation [t(41) ¼-.67, p ¼ .51). Conclusions and implications: Bullying victimisation appears to increase the risk of internalising symptoms in adolescents with a history of developmental language disorder. Future research should examine whether anti-bullying interventions can help prevent the development of internalising problems for children with developmental language disorder. These findings may aid clinicians in developing their understanding of developmental language disorder and reinforces the importance of holistic client management in speech language therapy.

Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the association between language skills and social competence in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) and to assess the potential moderators of these associations. Method: The study was reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Studies were identified according to a search strategy carried out in PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Scopus, Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global databases. A total of 15,069 articles were independently double screened in the title and abstract phases, with 250 articles proceeding to a full-text review. Inclusion criteria comprised (a) a sample of children with DLD between the ages of 2 and 12 years, (b) a language measure, (c) a social competence measure, and (d) an appropriate statistic. Exclusion criteria were (a) intervention studies with no baseline data, (b) language measures based on preverbal abilities, (c) samples of children with DLD and other clinical conditions, and (d) studies without useable statistics. Data were extracted from 21 studies that met the eligibility criteria for the meta-analysis. Results: Pooled estimates across 21 studies ( M age = 7.52 years; 64% male) and 6,830 children indicated a significant association between language skills and social competence in children with DLD ( r = .18, 95% confidence interval [.12, .24], p < .001), which was small in magnitude. The effect sizes were stronger in studies that assessed overall language skills than in those that specifically measured receptive or expressive language skills. Conclusions: Findings from this study support a subtle and reliable relationship between language and social competence in children with DLD. The implications and limitations of this study and its future directions are also discussed. Supplemental Material: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24514564
