“…Similarly, the use of context was the most impaired pragmatic language domain in NS (>2SD below the norm of TD children), and similar weakness in use of context has been observed in other genetic conditions: SETBP1 (Morgan et al 2021), Down syndrome (Smith et al 2017) and Sotos syndrome (Lane et al 2019). Pragmatic development can be supported by access to interaction with others (Matthews 2021). Yet, in many genetic conditions, interaction with others is limited by lifestyle factors associated with the condition, such as missed time in education or missed time with peers.…”

“…While all areas of pragmatic language ability were impaired, the findings suggest that individuals with SOX11 syndrome may have relative weakness in use of context compared with other aspects of pragmatic language (inappropriate initiation and stereotyped language). This difficulty could relate to physical context (what is around them and their communication partner), the discourse context (what has already been said) or the cultural context (what is in common knowledge between people; Matthews 2021). Similarly, the use of context was the most impaired pragmatic language domain in NS (>2SD below the norm of TD children), and similar weakness in use of context has been observed in other genetic conditions: SETBP1 (Morgan et al .…”

BackgroundSpeech and language skills are important for social interaction and learning. This study characterised the communication abilities of verbal individuals with SOX11 syndrome using a standardised parent/carer questionnaire, the Children's Communication Checklist (CCC‐2).MethodThirteen parent/carers of verbal individuals (aged 5–19 years) diagnosed with SOX11 syndrome completed the CCC‐2. In order to contextualise findings, responses were compared to norms and to data from Noonan syndrome, a relatively well‐known genetic diagnosis associated with communication impairment.ResultsFor all individuals, the CCC‐2 composite score indicated significant communication difficulties. Language structure (speech, syntax, semantics and coherence), pragmatic language (inappropriate initiation, stereotyped language use of context and non‐verbal communication) and autistic features (social relations and interests) scores were lower than typically developing norms. Subscale comparisons revealed relative difference in use of context compared to other pragmatic domains (stereotyped language and inappropriate initiation). Individual scores showed substantial variation, particularly in regard to language structure profile. Differences were more pronounced than for Noonan syndrome, specifically in domains of speech, syntax, non‐verbal communication and social relations.ConclusionsSOX11 syndrome is associated with communication impairment. It is important to assess communication abilities as part of the management of individuals with SOX11 syndrome and understand individual strengths and difficulties in order to provide targeted support.

ZusammenfassungDer Erwerb der Erzählfähigkeiten ist ein wichtiger Teil des Spracherwerbs und eine Schlüsselkompetenz für eine erfolgreiche Bildungslaufbahn sowie für die soziale Teilhabe. Bisherige Forschungen zu den Erzählfähigkeiten von Kindern mit einer Hörbeeinträchtigung sind rar und heterogen. Daher untersucht die vorliegende Studie die Erzählfähigkeiten von Schüler*innen mit diesem Profil (N = 16; MAlter = 10;8 Jahre) anhand einer mündlichen Erzählung nach Bildvorlage. Sowohl auf makro- als auch auf mikrostruktureller Ebene zeigte sich eine hohe interindividuelle Variabilität. Darüber hinaus traten Zusammenhänge zwischen den Erzählfähigkeiten, dem rezeptiven Wortschatz und dem phonologischen Arbeitsgedächtnis auf. Die Ergebnisse erweitern den Kenntnisstand zum fortgeschrittenen Spracherwerb von Kindern mit einer Hörbeeinträchtigung im Schulalter und beleuchten die komplexen Zusammenhänge.

Purpose: This prospective longitudinal study aimed to explore (a) the development of social-pragmatic understanding of children with bilateral hearing aids (BiHAs), bilateral cochlear implants (BiCIs), and typical hearing (TH) between the ages of 4 and 6 years and (b) group differences between children with BiHAs, BiCIs, and TH. Method: The Pragma test was used for a comprehensive assessment of social-pragmatic understanding of a total of 86 children: 19 children with BiHAs, 22 children with BiCIs, and 45 children with TH. The Pragma test requires answering socially and contextually demanding questions and explaining the right answers. The explanation tasks are targeted at studying the participant's own awareness of the inferencing process. The children in this study were assessed yearly at the ages of 4, 5, and 6 years. Results: The participants with BiHAs, BiCIs, and TH showed significant development in their social-pragmatic understanding between the ages of 4 and 6 years, but most children with hearing loss (HL) still did not meet age expectations at the age of 6 years. Children with BiHAs and BiCIs both showed large-scale inferential difficulties, including utilizing theory of mind, utilizing verbal and visual information, and understanding conversational norms and emotions in context. Conclusions: Children with BiHAs and BiCIs are at risk of delays in social-pragmatic understanding despite early detection of HL, early amplification, and cochlear implantation. Therefore, the social-pragmatic abilities of children with HL should be assessed regularly, and the children with HL should have early access to social-pragmatic interventions where utilizing contextual information is practiced comprehensively.
