“…Thus, by 4-5 years, language abilities are much more stable and schoolaged children with language difficulties are at high risk of persistent language disorder. In older children and adolescents, language abilities should be checked in those who exhibit behavioural and mental-health issues (Hollo et al 2014).…”

Background: Paediatric SLT roles often involve planning individualised intervention for specific children (provided directly by SLTs or indirectly through non-SLTs), working collaboratively with families and education staff and providing advice and training. A tiered approach to service delivery is currently recommended, whereby services become increasingly specialised and individualised for children with greater needs.

“…Although the diagnostic criterion for SLI excludes psychiatric disorders, there is a consistent association between language impairment and behavioral problems (St Clair et al 2011;Van Agt et al 2011;van Daal et al 2007;Yew and O'Kearney 2013;Gregl et al 2014;Mok et al 2014;Hollo et al 2014;Helland et al 2014). The causal path of this relation remains unclear, but evidence from longitudinal studies suggests the direction of effect may be from language to behavior (Petersen et al 2013).…”

This study aimed to investigate the behavior and social profile of Brazilian children with specific language impairment (SLI) and explore whether the severity of language deficits was associated with behavioral problems and low social competence. Twenty-four children with SLI aged from 6 to 11 years who showed substantial expressive language problems and were receiving speech-language therapy were assessed through the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Children with SLI showed high rates of behavioral problems and low levels of social competence. With the exception of two subscales ("somatic" and "rule breaker"), the percentage of children with SLI at risk of behavioral problems was significantly higher than the same proportion in the general population; and almost all children with SLI (95.2 %) demonstrated problems with social competence. The severity of language deficits was associated with the risk of behavioral problems according to only one criterion. No associations were found between the severity of language problems and social competence. The study provides cross-cultural evidence to support the existence of behavior problems and reduced social competence in children with SLI. Our findings point to the need of using a combination of measures to classify the severity of language problems rather than a single dimension.

“…These principles are useful with interviewees of any age, but are more important with children and with individuals with LD because of their increased language challenges (Snow et al., ). As LD is often subtle and may not be identified, it is essential that assumptions are not made about a child or adolescent's language functioning and that best practice guidelines are used by law enforcement and social service professionals when interviewing children and adolescents (Beitchman & Brownlie, ; Hollo, Wehby, & Oliver, ; Snow et al., ).…”
