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

TL;DR: At school entry, approximately two children in every class of 30 pupils will experience language disorder severe enough to hinder academic progress, and access to specialist clinical services should not depend on NVIQ.

TL;DR: Findings from two longitudinal studies suggest that language ability may be a useful target for the prevention or even treatment of attention deficits and EXT problems in children.

TL;DR: Adolescents with SLI report having more difficulties with peers and having more mental health problems than do typical adolescents, and most adolescents see themselves as prosocial.

Education and employment outcomes of young adults with a history of developmental language disorder
TL;DR: At the group level, young people with a history of DLD more commonly have less skilled employment and more rarely achieve professional roles, and at the individual level there is considerable variation with smaller but not trivial proportions of young adults with a History of D LD showing good educational and employment outcomes.

TL;DR: A conceptual model that distinguishes deprivation and threat as distinct forms of childhood adversity with different pathways to psychopathology is tested and suggests that unique developmental mechanisms link different forms of adversity with psychopathology.

Emotional health in adolescents with and without a history of specific language impairment (SLI)
TL;DR: There is a marked higher rate of anxiety and depression symptoms in adolescents with SLI, however, these do not appear to be a direct result of impoverished communicative experiences.

TL;DR: The enhanced incidence of behavior problems reported heretofore may be related more to lower IQ than to linguistic deficit per se, and preschool children with scores in the clinical range on such measures should be referred for additional evaluation.
