Public ISBD [article]  inAutism & Developmental Language Impairments > 3 (January-December 2018) Titre : A longitudinal analysis of early language difficulty and peer problems on later emotional difficulties in adolescence: Evidence from the Millennium Cohort Study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Claire L. FORREST, Auteur ; Jenny L. GIBSON, Auteur ; Sarah L. HALLIGAN, Auteur ; Michelle C. ST CLAIR, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background and aimIndividuals with developmental language disorder have been found to exhibit increased emotional difficulties compared to their typically developed peers. However, the underlying pathways involved in this relationship are unclear. It may be that poor language leads to social exclusion, resulting in feelings of frustration and isolation. Additionally, previous research has focused on clinical samples or early childhood in population cohorts. Therefore, the current paper examines the mediating effect of childhood peer problems on poor emotional outcomes in adolescence using a population cohort.MethodsData from the Millennium Cohort Study were analysed at ages 5, 7 and 14. The risk of developmental language disorder group (children considered at risk of developing developmental language disorder based on parental report of difficulties or a score 1.5 standard deviation on Naming Vocabulary subtest at age 5) was compared to a general population group. A Sobel?Goodman test was used to examine the mediating effect of teacher-reported peer problems at age 7 on the association between language difficulties at age 5 and parent-reported emotional problems at age 7 and 14.ResultsPeer problems at age 7 accounted for approximately 14% of the effect of language difficulties at age 5 on emotional problems at age 7, and approximately 17% of the effect of language difficulties at age 5 on emotional problems at age 14.ConclusionsThis paper supports previous findings that children and adolescents with language difficulties are at increased risk for social and emotional problems as reported by their parents and teachers. Furthermore, the findings show that peer problems partially mediate the relationship between language difficulties and emotional problems, suggesting that better relationships with peers may offer some protection against poor mental health outcomes in adolescents at risk of developmental language disorder.ImplicationsThis paper adds to the literature that investigates the mechanisms involved in the relationship between developmental language disorder and increased emotional problems. Practitioners wishing to reduce risk of emotional difficulties in children with developmental language disorder may wish to reflect on what they can do to support a child to develop positive peer relationships.

Social Cognition in Adolescents with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD): Evidence from the Social Attribution Task / Claire L. FORREST in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-11 (November 2023)

ST CLAIR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4243-4257 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Social cognition impairments may explain social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) in individuals with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). In a novel approach, the Social Attribution Task (SAT) was used to examine this association. SAT narratives were coded from 53 participants [n=26 DLD; n=27 typical language development (TLD)] matched on age (Mage=13;6) and gender (35.9% female). Parents reported SEBD. Adolescents with DLD performed worse than their TLD peers on the majority of SAT indices and had higher peer (d=1.09) and emotional problems (d=.75). There was no association between social cognition abilities and SEBD. These exploratory findings suggest social cognition should be further examined in this population.

What is the nature of peer interactions in children with language disorders? A qualitative study of parent and practitioner views / Vanessa LLOYD-ESENKAYA in Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 6 (January-December 2021)

A qualitative study of parent and practitioner views Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Vanessa LLOYD-ESENKAYA, Auteur ; Claire L.

ST CLAIR, Auteur Article en page(s) : 23969415211005307 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Language disorder  developmental language disorder  specific language impairment  social skills  children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background and aimsChildren with Language Disorders (LDs) can exhibit increased levels of social withdrawal, aggression and problems managing social conflicts. The reasons underlying this pattern of social interaction profiles remain unclear. This qualitative study aimed to document the nature of social interactions between children with LDs and their peers, and to evaluate explanations for their social behaviour, as understood by parents and practitioners.MethodsThis study focused on children with LDs who spend school hours with other children with LDs. Three parent focus groups (n = 8) and three practitioner focus groups (n = 10) were conducted with parents of children aged 4–12 attending specialist language schools and practitioners working at these schools. This was a mixed clinical sample. All children of participating parents had LD as their primary area of need, which was the reason they required specialist schooling. Focus groups were conducted across two specialist schools in the UK between March and June 2018.ResultsAn inductive reflective thematic analysis of the data identified three themes; social knowledge, coping strategies, and emotional competence. Parents and school staff reported that children with LDs experience difficulties managing peer interactions due to a combination of challenges including difficulties with understanding and regulating emotions, and difficulties understanding social situations. Some of the children with LDs were described as having developed strategies to cope with their challenges, for example imposing structure on their social interactions to manage uncertainty, which has implications for their social interactions with peers.ConclusionsChildren with LDs have difficulties understanding emotions, difficulties understanding their peer’s intentions and difficulties resolving conflict situations independently according to their parents and practitioners working with these children. Participants proposed a novel explanation that social withdrawal may be used adaptively by children with LDs to process information. This study demonstrates the complexity of the relationship between Language Disorders and peer interaction profiles.Implications: Suggestions are offered regarding future research directions, such as investigating the specific contribution language skills make to children’s emotion understanding, to better understand the reasons for peer interaction difficulties in children with Language Disorders.
