TLDR
Compared to typical children, SLI children experience clinically important increases in the severity of diverse emotional, behavioural and ADHD symptoms and more frequently show a clinical level of these problems.Abstract:
Background: Prospective evidence on psychological outcomes for children with specific language impairments (SLI) is accumulating. To date, there has been no attempt to summarise what this evidence says about the strength of link between SLI and later child and adolescent emotional and behavioural (EB) outcomes.
Methods: We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis (following PRISMA guidelines and involving a literature search to June 2012 of seven databases, including MEDLINE and PsychAPA) of prospective, cohort studies of children with SLI and typical language development (TLD) reporting on the incidence and severity of EB problems later in childhood or adolescence.
Results: Nineteen follow-up reports of eight cohorts with 553 SLI children and 1533 TLD controls were identified. Initial assessment was at 3–8.8 years of age and follow-up duration from 2 to 12 years. Pooled across comparable studies, SLI children were about two times more likely to show disorder levels of overall internalising problems, overall externalising and ADHD problems than TLD children. Compared with the average TLD child (50 percentile), at follow-up, the symptom severity of the average SLI child was at the 72 percentile (95% CI 65–79 percentile) on internalising symptoms, the 69 percentile (95% CI 63–74 percentile) on externalising symptoms and the 60 percentile (95% CI 52–68 percentile) on AHDH severity. The findings about risk to specific mental disorders and the severity of specific problems were inconclusive.
Conclusions: Relative to typical children, SLI children experience clinically important increases in the severity of diverse emotional, behavioural and ADHD symptoms and more frequently show a clinical level of these problems. The small number of studies included in pooled analysis and methodological heterogeneity reduce the precision and generalisability of the findings. Most studies do not account for initial levels of EB problems.read more

Cross-cohort evidence of disparities in service receipt for speech or language impairments
TL;DR: The extent to which disparities in the receipt of special education services for speech or language impairments (SLIs) on the basis of race, ethnicity, or language use by kindergarten—when the delivery of these services might be expected to be most effective—have changed over a 12-year period is examined.

TL;DR: All children presenting with significantspeech and language delay should be investigated with a comprehensive hearing assessment and be considered for speech and language therapy assessment, and further investigation will be informed from this clinical assessment.

TL;DR: Poor adolescent psychosocial outcomes for individuals with early childhood SSD were primarily related to comorbid LI and not to SSD per se, and at adulthood, comorbrid RD and ADHD may influence outcomes more significantly than LI.

TL;DR: Findings highlight that children with persistent LD from preschool to early primary school may be more likely to have concomitant SEB difficulties, particularly behavioural difficulties, showing a need for education and health professionals to monitor early language and SEB development.

Language Ability of Students with Emotional Disturbance: Discrepancies between Teacher Ratings and Direct Assessment.
Jason C. Chow,Alexandra Hollo +1 more
TL;DR: This article found that language impairment often goes unidentified in students with behavioral disorders, perhaps in part because different forms of problem behavior deflect adult attention from more subtle language defi ciency, such as dysarthric speech.

How Many Studies Do You Need? A Primer on Statistical Power for Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: The authors discuss the value of confidence intervals, show how they could be used in addition to or instead of retrospective power analysis, and demonstrate that confidence intervals can convey information more effectively in some situations than power analyses alone.

Developmental language disorders – a follow-up in later adult life. Cognitive, language and psychosocial outcomes
TL;DR: A receptive developmental language disorder involves significant deficits in theory of mind, verbal short-term memory and phonological processing, together with substantial social adaptation difficulties and increased risk of psychiatric disorder in adult life.
