NORBURY, Auteur ; Edmund J. S. SONUGA-BARKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1065-1067 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Developmental language disorders (DLD) are common and have far-reaching developmental consequences. Nevertheless, public awareness of DLD is poor, and one goal of this special issue is to showcase a set of papers that provide a clear and coherent message about the nature and impact of DLD, and the potential of intervention to mitigate these impacts. In this editorial, we highlight seminal papers JCPP has published on language disorders over the last 40 years. Many of the issues raised then are still relevant now; however, the papers that comprise this special issue exemplify how far the field has come in achieving consensus on terminology and diagnostic criteria, and producing highly consistent findings on the stability and impact of DLD, and the potential for language change in response to targeted interventions. The editorial concludes with a road map for future research and clinical priorities that includes the need for randomised controlled trials that specifically address the impact of co-morbidities on response to treatment, impacts of intervention on broader developmental outcomes, and the experiences of adults with DLD.

Phase 2 of CATALISE: a multinational and multidisciplinary Delphi consensus study of problems with language development: Terminology / Dorothy V. M. BISHOP in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-10 (October 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-10 (October 2017) . - p.1068-1080 Titre : Phase 2 of CATALISE: a multinational and multidisciplinary Delphi consensus study of problems with language development: Terminology Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Dorothy V.

THOMPSON, Auteur ; Trisha GREENHALGH, Auteur ; CATALISE-CONSORTIUM,, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1068-1080 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Developmental language disorder  specific language impairment  terminology  risk factors  definitions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Lack of agreement about criteria and terminology for children's language problems affects access to services as well as hindering research and practice. We report the second phase of a study using an online Delphi method to address these issues. In the first phase, we focused on criteria for language disorder. Here we consider terminology. Methods The Delphi method is an iterative process in which an initial set of statements is rated by a panel of experts, who then have the opportunity to view anonymised ratings from other panel members. On this basis they can either revise their views or make a case for their position. The statements are then revised based on panel feedback, and again rated by and commented on by the panel. In this study, feedback from a second round was used to prepare a final set of statements in narrative form. The panel included 57 individuals representing a range of professions and nationalities. Results We achieved at least 78% agreement for 19 of 21 statements within two rounds of ratings. These were collapsed into 12 statements for the final consensus reported here. The term ‘Language Disorder’ is recommended to refer to a profile of difficulties that causes functional impairment in everyday life and is associated with poor prognosis. The term, ‘Developmental Language Disorder’ (DLD) was endorsed for use when the language disorder was not associated with a known biomedical aetiology. It was also agreed that (a) presence of risk factors (neurobiological or environmental) does not preclude a diagnosis of DLD, (b) DLD can co-occur with other neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. ADHD) and (c) DLD does not require a mismatch between verbal and nonverbal ability. Conclusions This Delphi exercise highlights reasons for disagreements about terminology for language disorders and proposes standard definitions and nomenclature.

Subgroups in language trajectories from 4 to 11 years: the nature and predictors of stable, improving and decreasing language trajectory groups / Cristina MCKEAN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-10 (October 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-10 (October 2017) . - p.1081-1091 Titre : Subgroups in language trajectories from 4 to 11 years: the nature and predictors of stable, improving and decreasing language trajectory groups Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Cristina MCKEAN, Auteur ; Darren WRAITH, Auteur ; Patricia EADIE, Auteur ; Fallon COOK, Auteur ; Fiona MENSAH, Auteur ; Sheena REILLY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1081-1091 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Language development  language disorder  longitudinal trajectory  latent class Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Little is known about the nature, range and prevalence of different subgroups in language trajectories extant in a population from 4 to 11 years. This hinders strategic targeting and design of interventions, particularly targeting those whose difficulties will likely persist. Methods Children's language abilities from 4 to 11 years were investigated in a specialist language longitudinal community cohort (N = 1,910). Longitudinal trajectory latent class modelling was used to characterise trajectories and identify subgroups. Multinomial logistic regression was used to identify predictors associated with the language trajectories children followed. Results Three language trajectory groups were identified: ‘stable’ (94% of participants), ‘low-decreasing’ (4%) and ‘low-improving’ (2%). A range of child and family factors were identified that were associated with following either the low-improving or low-increasing language trajectory; many of them shared. The low-improving group was associated with mostly environmental risks: non-English-speaking background, social disadvantage and few children's books in the home. The low-decreasing group was associated with mainly biological risks: low birth weight, socioemotional problems, lower family literacy and learning disability. Conclusions By 4 years, services can be confident that most children with low language will remain low to 11 years. Using rigid cut-points in language ability to target interventions is not recommended due to continued individual variability in language development. Service delivery models should incorporate monitoring over time, targeting according to language abilities and associated risks and delivery of a continuum of interventions across the continuum of need.

Language growth in children with heterogeneous language disorders: a population study / Courtenay F. NORBURY in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-10 (October 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-10 (October 2017) . - p.1092-1105 Titre : Language growth in children with heterogeneous language disorders: a population study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Courtenay F.

However, the extent to which trajectories of language growth vary in children with language disorder as a function of co-occurring developmental challenges is a question of theoretical import, with implications for service provision. Methods SCALES employed a population-based survey design with sample weighting procedures to estimate growth in core language skills over the first three years of school. A stratified sample (n = 529) received comprehensive assessment of language, nonverbal IQ, and social, emotional and behavioural difficulties at 5–6 years of age and 95% of the sample (n = 499) were assessed again at ages 7–8. Language growth was measured using both raw and standard scores in children with typical development, children with language disorder of unknown origin, and children with language disorders associated with a known clinical condition and/or intellectual disability. Results Overall, language was stable at the individual level (estimated ICC = 0.95) over the first three years of school. Linear mixed effects models highlighted steady growth in language raw scores across all three groups, including those with multiple developmental challenges. There was little evidence, however, that children with language disorders were narrowing the gap with peers (z-scores). Adjusted models indicated that while nonverbal ability, socioeconomic status and social, emotional and behavioural deficits predicted initial language score (intercept), none predicted language growth (slope). Conclusions These findings corroborate previous studies suggesting stable language trajectories after ages 5–6 years, but add considerably to previous work by demonstrating similar developmental patterns in children with additional nonverbal cognitive deficits, social, emotional, and behavioural challenges, social disadvantage or clinical diagnoses.

Language impairment and comorbid vulnerabilities among young people in custody / Nathan HUGHES in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-10 (October 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-10 (October 2017) . - p.1106-1113 Titre : Language impairment and comorbid vulnerabilities among young people in custody Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nathan HUGHES, Auteur ; Prathiba CHITSABESAN, Auteur ; Karen BRYAN, Auteur ; Rohan BORSCHMANN, Auteur ; Nathaniel SWAIN, Auteur ; Charlotte LENNOX, Auteur ; Jennifer SHAW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1106-1113 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Young offenders  language disorder  communication  mental health  assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background While the prevalence of language and communication difficulties among young people in custody is well established, holistic understanding of the complexity and co-occurrence of additional vulnerabilities among this population are rare. Methods Ninety-three young people in a young offenders institution in England were assessed using the Comprehensive Health Assessment Tool, the Test of Word Knowledge, and a range of additional assessments of communication, cognition, and neurodevelopmental difficulties. Results Forty-seven percent of the young people demonstrated an aspect of language skills significantly below the population average, with more than one in four identified as having impairment. Only one in four of those with an impairment had previously accessed speech and language services. Language needs were associated with difficulties with social communication and nonverbal cognition, as well as higher risk of self-harm and substance misuse. Conclusions Earlier identification of language difficulties requires routine assessment of young people at risk of engagement in offending behavior. Where language difficulties are identified, holistic assessments of needs should be undertaken. There is a need for speech and language therapy provision within youth justice services, as well as in other services accessed by young people at risk of engagement in offending.

Language disorder and retrospectively reported sexual abuse of girls: severity and disclosure / E. B. BROWNLIE in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-10 (October 2017)

BEITCHMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1114-1121 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Language disorder  sexual abuse  trauma  longitudinal studies Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Despite emerging evidence for an association between communication disorders and maltreatment, little research has examined sexual abuse characteristics or disclosure experiences among individuals with language disorder (LD). Given that communication difficulties may constitute a barrier to disclosure, the disclosure experiences among individuals with and without communication difficulties may also differ. Methods Five-year-old children identified with a language and/or speech disorder from a nonclinical community sample and a control group were followed to adulthood in a prospective longitudinal study. At age 31, participants completed a behaviorally specific questionnaire on experiences of sexual abuse and questionnaires on disclosure experiences and social reactions to disclosure. Due to low endorsement of sexual victimization among male participants and low sample size, results are reported for women only and exclude nine participants with speech disorder without LD. Participation rates were 28 of 40 in the LD cohort and 45 of 51 controls. Sexual victimization severity was defined using an index combining five indicators (duration, invasiveness, relationship to perpetrator, coercive tactics used, and number of perpetrators). Subthreshold sexual victimization was defined as a single, noncontact incident with a perpetrator unknown to the child; experiences with greater severity were classified as child sexual abuse. Results Among women who reported sexual victimization by age 18, invasiveness and overall severity were greater in the LD cohort than in the control cohort. Women in the LD cohort (43%) were more likely than controls (16%) to report child sexual abuse, excluding subthreshold experiences. There were no differences between cohorts in probability of disclosure, latency to disclosure, or social reactions. Conclusions Women with a history of child LD in a nonclinical sample reported substantial child sexual abuse experiences. Implications for understanding associations between LD and mental health and for prevention and early intervention are discussed.

A randomised controlled trial to test the effect of promoting caregiver contingent talk on language development in infants from diverse socioeconomic status backgrounds / Michelle MCGILLION in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-10 (October 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-10 (October 2017) . - p.1122-1131 Titre : A randomised controlled trial to test the effect of promoting caregiver contingent talk on language development in infants from diverse socioeconomic status backgrounds Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michelle MCGILLION, Auteur ; Julian M. PINE, Auteur ; Jane S. HERBERT, Auteur ; Danielle MATTHEWS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1122-1131 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Infancy  language  vocabulary  parenting  socioeconomic status  intervention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Early language skills are critical for later academic success. Lower socioeconomic status (SES) children tend to start school with limited language skills compared to advantaged peers. We test the hypothesis that this is due in part to differences in caregiver contingent talk during infancy (how often the caregiver talks about what is in the focus of the infant's attention). Methods In a randomised controlled trial with high and low SES families, 142 11-month olds and their caregivers were randomly allocated to either a contingent talk intervention or a dental health control. Families in the language intervention watched a video about contingent talk and were asked to practise it for 15 min a day for a month. Caregiver communication was assessed at baseline and after 1 month. Infant communication was assessed at baseline, 12, 15, 18 and 24 months. Results At baseline, social gradients were observed in caregiver contingent talk to their 11-month olds (but not in infant communication). At posttest, when infants were 12 months old, caregivers across the SES spectrum who had been allocated to the language intervention group engaged in significantly more contingent talk. Lower SES caregivers in this intervention group also reported that their children produced significantly more words at 15 and 18 months. Effects of the intervention did not persist at 24 months. Instead expressive vocabulary at this age was best predicted by baseline infant communication, baseline contingent talk and SES. Conclusions A social gradient in children's communication emerges during the second year of life. A low-intensity intervention demonstrated that it is possible to increase caregiver contingent talk and that this is effective in promoting vocabulary growth for lower SES infants in the short term. However, these effects are not long-lasting, suggesting that follow-up interventions may be necessary to yield benefits lasting to school entry.

However, few randomized trials have examined how such problems can be ameliorated during the preschool years. Methods We conducted a cluster randomized trial in 148 preschool classrooms. Our intervention targeted language comprehension skills and lasted 1 year and 1 month, with five blocks of 6 weeks and intervention three times per week (about 75 min per week). Effects were assessed on a range of measures of language performance. Results Immediately after the intervention, there were moderate effects on both near, intermediate and distal measures of language performance. At delayed follow-up (7 months after the intervention), these reliable effects remained for the distal measures. Conclusions It is possible to intervene in classroom settings to improve the language comprehension skills of children with language difficulties. However, it appears that such interventions need to be intensive and prolonged.

The efficacy of early language intervention in mainstream school settings: a randomized controlled trial / Silke FRICKE in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-10 (October 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-10 (October 2017) . - p.1141-1151 Titre : The efficacy of early language intervention in mainstream school settings: a randomized controlled trial Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Silke FRICKE, Auteur ; Kelly BURGOYNE, Auteur ; Claudine BOWYER-CRANE, Auteur ; Maria KYRIACOU, Auteur ; Alexandra ZOSIMIDOU, Auteur ; Liam MAXWELL, Auteur ; Arne LERVAG, Auteur ; Margaret J. SNOWLING, Auteur ; Charles HULME, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1141-1151 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Early intervention  language  reading  RCT design  education Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Oral language skills are a critical foundation for literacy and more generally for educational success. The current study shows that oral language skills can be improved by providing suitable additional help to children with language difficulties in the early stages of formal education. Methods We conducted a randomized controlled trial with 394 children in England, comparing a 30-week oral language intervention programme starting in nursery (N = 132) with a 20-week version of the same programme starting in Reception (N = 133). The intervention groups were compared to an untreated waiting control group (N = 129). The programmes were delivered by trained teaching assistants (TAs) working in the children's schools/nurseries. All testers were blind to group allocation. Results Both the 20- and 30-week programmes produced improvements on primary outcome measures of oral language skill compared to the untreated control group. Effect sizes were small to moderate (20-week programme: d = .21; 30-week programme: d = .30) immediately following the intervention and were maintained at follow-up 6 months later. The difference in improvement between the 20-week and 30-week programmes was not statistically significant. Neither programme produced statistically significant improvements in children's early word reading or reading comprehension skills (secondary outcome measures). Conclusions This study provides further evidence that oral language interventions can be delivered successfully by trained TAs to children with oral language difficulties in nursery and Reception classes. The methods evaluated have potentially important policy implications for early education.

Inhibitory control and lexical alignment in children with an autism spectrum disorder / Zoë HOPKINS in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-10 (October 2017)

Typical adults’ tendency to reuse interlocutors’ referential choices (lexical alignment) implicates communicative perspective-taking, which is regulated by conflict inhibition. We examined whether children with ASD spontaneously lexically aligned, and whether conflict inhibition mediated alignment. Methods Children with ASD and chronological- and verbal-age-matched typically developing controls played a picture-naming game. We manipulated whether the experimenter used a preferred or dispreferred name for each picture, and examined whether children subsequently used the same name. Results Children with ASD spontaneously lexically aligned, to the same extent as typically developing controls. Alignment was unrelated to conflict inhibition in both groups. Conclusions Children with ASD's referential communication is robust to impairments in conflict inhibition under some circumstances. Their pragmatic deficits may be mitigated in a highly structured interaction.

Evaluating social (pragmatic) communication disorder / William MANDY in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-10 (October 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-10 (October 2017) . - p.1166-1175 Titre : Evaluating social (pragmatic) communication disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : William MANDY, Auteur ; Adele WANG, Auteur ; Irene LEE, Auteur ; David SKUSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1166-1175 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social (pragmatic) communication disorder  autism spectrum disorder  diagnostic and statistical manual  fifth edition (DSM-5)  pervasive developmental disorder – not otherwise specified  nosology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Social (pragmatic) communication disorder (SPCD) is a new diagnosis introduced by DSM-5, characterised by problems with verbal and nonverbal social communication. It is currently unclear whether SPCD is a valid diagnostic category, because little is known about the characteristics of those who meet its criteria. We sought to identify and describe cases of SPCD, to contribute to debates about its validity. We investigated whether the symptoms of SPCD cluster together to form a coherent syndrome that is distinct from autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in terms of its core and associated features. Methods Participants were young people (N = 1,081, age range = 4–18 years) who had attended a specialist social communication disorders clinic for children with fluent language and normal-range intelligence. Standardised parent-report data were collected using the Developmental, Dimensional and Diagnostic Interview (3Di), Child Communication Checklist (CCC) and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). An algorithm was designed using 3Di and CCC items to implement DSM-5 SPCD criteria. Results Eighty-eight young people met our criteria for SPCD, with 801 meeting DSM-5 ASD criteria and the remaining 192 having neither SPCD nor ASD (‘clinical comparison group’). The core symptoms of SPCD co-occurred to a moderate degree (average interitem correlation = .22). SPCD cases had autistic social difficulties that were intermediate between ASD and the clinical comparison group. SPCD was associated with high rates of nonautistic psychopathology, with 63.5% scoring in the abnormal range of the SDQ's Total Problems scale. Conclusions We did not find evidence that SPCD is qualitatively distinct from ASD. Rather, it appears to lie on the borderlands of the autism spectrum, describing those with autistic traits that fall just below the threshold for an ASD diagnosis. SPCD may have clinical utility for identifying people with autistic traits that are insufficiently severe for ASD diagnosis, but who nevertheless require support.
