Titre : Assessment and diagnosis of Developmental Language Disorder: The experiences of speech and language therapists Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sheila THOMAS, Auteur ; Joerg SCHULZ, Auteur ; Nuala RYDER, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Developmental Language Disorder assessment diagnosis speech and language therapy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BackgroundFor many years research and practice have noted the impact of the heterogeneous nature of Developmental Language Disorder (also known as language impairment or specific language impairment) on diagnosis and assessment. Recent research suggests the disorder is not restricted to the language domain and against this background, the challenge for the practitioner is to provide accurate assessment and effective therapy. The speech and language therapist aims to support the child and their carers to achieve the best outcomes. However, little is known about the experiences of the speech and language therapist in the assessment process, in contrast to other childhood disorders, yet their expertise is central in the assessment and diagnosis of children with language disorder.AimsThis study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of the experiences of speech and language therapists involved in the assessment and diagnosis of children with Developmental Language Disorder including the linguistic and non-linguistic aspects of the disorder.Methods and proceduresThe qualitative study included three focus groups to provide a credible and rich description of the experiences of speech and language therapists involved in the assessment of Developmental Language Disorder. The speech and language therapists who participated in the study were recruited from different types of institution in three NHS trusts across the UK and all were directly involved in the assessment and diagnosis procedures. The lengths of speech and language therapist experience ranged from 2 years to 38 years. The data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis within a phenomenological approach.Outcomes and resultsThe analysis of the data showed three main themes relating to the speech and language therapists? experience in assessment and diagnosis of Developmental Language Disorder. These themes were the participants? experiences of the barriers to early referral (subthemes ? parents? misunderstanding and misconceptions of Developmental Language Disorder, bilingualism can mask Developmental Language Disorder and public lack of knowledge of support services), factors in assessment (subthemes ? individual nature of impairments, choosing appropriate assessments, key indicators and identifying non-language difficulties) and the concerns over continued future support (subthemes ? disadvantages with academic curriculum, disadvantages for employment, impact of Developmental Language Disorder on general life chances).Conclusions and implicationsThis study provides first-hand evidence from speech and language therapists in the assessment of children with Developmental Language Disorder, drawing together experiences from speech and language therapists from different regions. The implications are that support for early referral and improved assessment tools are needed together with greater public awareness of Developmental Language Disorder. The implications are discussed in relation to the provision of early and effective assessment and the use of current research in these procedures.

Titre : Behaviors related to autism spectrum disorder in children with developmental language disorder and children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tessel BOERMA, Auteur ; Emma EVERAERT, Auteur ; Ellen GERRITS, Auteur ; Michiel HOUBEN, Auteur ; Frank WIJNEN, Auteur ; Jacob VORSTMAN, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : developmental language disorder 22q11.2 deletion syndrome autism spectrum disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background and Aim.Children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) are at an increased risk to develop behaviors associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The relationship between early language difficulties and the occurrence of ASD-related behaviors in DLD is poorly understood. One factor that may hinder progress in understanding this relationship is the etiological heterogeneity of DLD. We therefore study this relationship in an etiologically homogeneous group of children, who share phenotypic characteristics with children with DLD: children with the 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q11DS). We compare children with 22q11DS, to children with DLD and age-matched typically developing children (TD).Method44 children with 22q11DS, 65 children with DLD and 81 TD children, between 3.0-6.5 years old, participated in a longitudinal cohort study that included a baseline measure and a follow-up measure with a 1-year interval. A parental questionnaire (SRS-2) was used to measure the incidence of behaviors in two key behavioral domains associated with ASD: Social Communication and Interaction and Restricted Repetitive Behaviors and Interests. At baseline, we assessed children's expressive and receptive language abilities as well as their intellectual functioning with standardized tests. We compared the distribution of ASD-related behaviors between the three groups. We used regression analyses to investigate whether language abilities at baseline predict ASD-related behavior at follow-up, accounting for ASD-related behavior at baseline, demographic variables and intellectual functioning.ResultsBoth the children with 22q11DS and the children with DLD displayed significantly more ASD-related behaviors than the TD children. Over 30% of children in both clinical groups had scores exceeding the subclinical threshold for ASD in both behavioral domains. Both in 22q11DS and DLD, baseline receptive language scores were negatively correlated with ASD-related behaviors 1 year later, when controlling for baseline SRS-scores. However, this association was statistically significant only in children with 22q11DS, even when controlled for IQ-scores, and it was significantly stronger as than in the TD group. The strength of the association did not differ significantly between 22q11DS and DLD.ConclusionBoth children with 22q11DS and children with DLD present with elevated rates of ASD-related behaviors at a preschool-age. Only in children with 22q11DS we observed that weaker receptive language skills were related to increased behavioral problems in the domain of social communication and interaction one year later.ImplicationsOur findings indicate that relations between early language impairment and other behavioral phenotypes may be more feasible to detect in a subgroup of children with a homogeneous etiology, than in a group of children with a heterogeneous etiology (such as children with DLD). Our results in 22q11DS reveal that receptive language is especially important in predicting the occurrence of ASD-related behaviors. Future research is needed to determine to what extent receptive language predicts the occurrence of ASD-related behaviors in children with DLD, especially among those children with DLD with the weakest receptive language. Clinically, screening for ASD-related behaviors in children with developmental language difficulties is recommended from a young age, especially among children with receptive language difficulties.

Titre : Concurrent and longitudinal associations of developmental language disorder with peer victimization in adolescence: evidence from a co-twin study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kate NATION, Auteur ; Kai Xiang LIM, Auteur ; Jean-Baptiste PINGAULT, Auteur ; Lucy BOWES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1283-1298 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Developmental language disorder bullying victimization behavioral genetics pragmatic language adolescence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) experience higher levels of peer victimization than their peers. However, it is not known if such associations reflect genetic and environmental confounding. We used a co-twin control design to investigate the association of language difficulties (DLD and separately poor pragmatic language) with peer victimization and compare the developmental trajectories of peer victimization across adolescence for those with and without language difficulties. Methods Participants were 3,400 pairs of twins in the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS), a UK-based population birth cohort. Language abilities were assessed via online tests at age 11 and peer victimization was self-reported at ages 11, 14 and 16. Language difficulties were defined as language abilities at least ?1.25 SD below the mean of the TEDS sample. We performed linear regressions and latent growth curve modeling at a population level and within monozygotic and same-sex dizygotic twin pairs. Results At population level, youth with DLD experienced higher levels of peer victimization at ages 11 (??=?0.27, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.20?0.35), 14 (??=?0.15, 95% CI 0.03?0.27) and 16 (??=?0.17, 95% CI 0.03?0.32) and a sharper decline in peer victimization between ages 11 and 16 compared to their peers without DLD. The associations between DLD and peer victimization were reduced in strength and not statistically significant in within-twin models. Moreover, there was no difference in the rate of change in peer victimization between twin pairs discordant for DLD. Results were similar for the association of poor pragmatic language with peer victimization. Conclusions Associations between language difficulties (DLD and separately, poor pragmatic language) and peer victimization were confounded by genetic and shared environmental factors. Identifying specific factors underlying these associations is important for guiding future work to reduce peer victimization among adolescents with language difficulties.

Competing interests: The authors declare no competing interests. Ethics approval and consent to participate: Written informed consent was obtained from all individuals. All studies were carried out in accordance with the declaration of Helsinki and were approved by a national ethics committee (CPP Ile de France, RIPH2G reference DI 24.01180.000212, N°2024-A00519-38, CPP reference 29-2024, promoter reference C23-79 promoter: Inserm). ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06660108. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Developmental language disorder (DLD) refers to children who present with language difficulties that are not due to a known biomedical condition or associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or intellectual disability (ID). The clinical heterogeneity of language disorders, the frequent presence of comorbidities, and the inconsistent terminology used over the years have impeded both research and clinical practice. Identifying sub-groups of children (i.e. DLD cases without childhood apraxia of speech (CAS)) with language difficulties is essential for elucidating the underlying genetic causes of this condition. DLD presents along a spectrum of severity, ranging from mild speech delays to profound disturbances in oral language structure in otherwise typically intelligent children. The prevalence of DLD is ~?7-8% or 2% if severe forms are considered. This study aims to investigate a homogeneous cohort of DLD patients, excluding cases of ASD, ID or CAS, using multiple genomic approaches to better define the molecular basis of the disorder. METHODS: Fifteen families, including 27 children with severe DLD, were enrolled. The majority of cases (n = 24) were included in multiplex families while three cases were sporadic. This resulted in a cohort of 59 individuals for whom chromosomal microarray analysis and exome or genome sequencing were performed. RESULTS: We identified copy number variants (CNVs) predisposing to neurodevelopmental disorders with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity in two families. These CNVs (i.e., 15q13.3 deletion and proximal 16p11.2 duplication) are interpreted as pathogenic. In one sporadic case, a de novo pathogenic variant in the ZNF292 gene, known to be associated with ID, was detected, broadening the spectrum of this syndrome. LIMITATIONS: The strict diagnostic criteria applied by our multidisciplinary team, including speech-language physicians, neuropsychologists, and paediatric neurologists, resulted in a relatively small sample size, which limit the strength of our findings. CONCLUSION: These findings highlight a common genetic architecture between DLD, ASD and ID, and underline the need for further investigation into overlapping neurodevelopmental pathways.

Titre : Dyslexia and Developmental Language Disorder: comorbid disorders with distinct effects on reading comprehension Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Margaret J.

NASH, Auteur ; Charles HULME, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.672-680 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Developmental Language Disorder Reading comprehension decoding dyslexia language Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Reading comprehension draws on both decoding and linguistic comprehension, and poor reading comprehension can be the consequence of a deficit in either of these skills. METHODS: Using outcome data from the longitudinal Wellcome Language and Reading Project, we identified three groups of children at age 8 years: children with dyslexia (N = 21) who had deficits in decoding but not oral language, children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD; N = 38) whose decoding skills were in the normal range, and children who met criteria for both dyslexia and DLD (N = 29). RESULTS: All three groups had reading comprehension difficulties at the ages of 8 and 9 years relative to TD controls though those of the children with dyslexia were mild (relative to TD controls, d = 0.51 at age 8, d = 0.60 at age 8); while the most severe problems were found in the comorbid dyslexia + DLD group (d = 1.79 at age 8, d = 2.06 at age 9) those with DLD also had significant difficulties (d = 1.56 at age 8, d = 1.56 at age 9). CONCLUSIONS: These findings confirm that children with dyslexia or DLD are at-risk for reading comprehension difficulties but for different reasons, because of weak decoding in the case of dyslexia or weak oral language skills in the case of DLD. Different forms of intervention are required for these groups of children, targeted to their particular area(s) of weakness.
