“…At the morphosyntactic level, the mean length of verbal sentences is lower than that of children with typical development, presenting difficulties with the production of grammatical morphemes and auxiliary verbs [52]. With regards to pragmatic competence, although it is lower when compared to children with typical development, it is considered a relatively strong area in DS [1]. Most research agrees that children with DS have communicative intention from an early age that they convey as much with vocalizations as with gestures.…”

“…For this reason, this study was planned with the aim of assessing the usefulness of the Galician version of the CCC-2 [1] for the differential identification of ASD versus ADHD, DS, DLD and typically developing children (TD) in a function of the linguistic profile they show. On one hand, the capacity to discriminate disorders with a predominance of a pragmatic deficit (ADHD and ASD) from those with a predominance of a structural deficit (TDL and DS) was tested.…”

The Children’s Communication Checklist (CCC-2) has demonstrated its usefulness as an instrument to assess discrepancies between the use of structural dimensions of language and the pragmatic and sociointeractive uses of language. The aims of the present paper are: (1) to test the capacity of the Galician adaptation of the CCC-2 to discriminate the linguistic profiles of children with different disorders and (2) to test whether the capacity of the CCC-2 to discriminate the linguistic abilities of children with different disorders is the same at different ages: earlier development and later development. The sample is of 117 children previously diagnosed with different disorders: autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developmental language disorder (DLD), attention deficit with hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Down syndrome children (DS) and typically developing children (TD). The children were divided into two different age groups: from 4 to 6 and from 7 to 16 years of age. The results indicate that the Galician CCC-2 (1) accurately identified children with and without communicative impairments, (2) distinguished between profiles with a predominance of pragmatic (ASD and ADHD) and structural disorders (DS and DLD) and (3) distinguished between different profiles of pragmatic impairment. The CCC-2 equally identified these profiles at both earlier and later ages. The Galician CCC-2 seems to be a useful instrument for differentiating among different clinical groups and for assessing pragmatic disorders from an early age, which can be valuable for planning early intervention.
