“…Several studies conducted in the 1980s led to a consensus that speech-language impairment frequently co-occurred with ADHD in both clinic-referred (Baker and Cantwell 1982;Baker and Cantwell 1992;Cantwell and Baker 1985;Gualtieri et al 1983;Love and Thompson 1988) and epidemiological samples (Beitchman et al 1986(Beitchman et al , 1989a(Beitchman et al , 1990. These studies found comorbidity rates ranging from about 17-66%, with an epidemiological sample showing a 30% rate of overlap (Beitchman et al 1986).…”

This study focuses on the comorbidity between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and speech sound disorder (SSD). SSD is a developmental disorder characterized by speech production errors that impact intelligibility. Previous research addressing this comorbidity has typically used heterogeneous groups of speech-language disordered children. This study employed more precise speech-language diagnostic criteria and examined ADHD symptomatology in 108 SSD children between the ages of 4 and 7 years old with specific language impairment (SLI) (n=23, 14 males, 9 females) and without SLI (n=85, 49 males, 36 females). We also examined whether a subcategory of SSD, persistent (n=39, 25 males, 14 females) versus normalized SSD (n=67, 38 males, 29 females), was associated with ADHD and/or interacted with SLI to predict ADHD symptomatology. Results indicated that participants in the SSD + SLI group had higher rates of inattentive ADHD symptoms than those in the SSD-only and control groups. In addition, an unexpected interaction emerged such that children with SLI and normalized-SSD had significantly higher ADHD inattentive ratings than the other subgroups. A proposed explanation for this interaction is discussed.

“…The most frequently reported psychopathology is externalizing behavior, such as hyperactivity, inattention, impulsivity, conduct disorders and aggression [2,3] . Also reported are difficulties of an internalizing nature, for example low self-esteem, depression and anxiety [4][5][6] .…”

Objective: Developmental disorders in childhood are generally assumed to have stigmatizing effects. The goal of the present study was to assess whether parents of children with speech-language impairment perceive stigmatization of their child or themselves and which variables influence the degree of negative labeling. Subjects and Methods: The study was based on 362 questionnaires completed by parents of children with speech-language impairment. The questionnaires concerned perceived stigmatization by other children, other adults and family members as a result of the child’s developmental problems. Results: In our sample, about 50% of the parents reported negative labeling of their child and about 30% felt they were involved in the stigmatizing process. Parents whose children also had behavioral problems more often reported negative labeling than parents whose children did not. Conclusion: The findings suggest that parents of children with speech-language disorders often perceive stigmatization of their children or themselves. In counseling such families, professionals should therefore address stigmatization and its consequences as a separate and important issue.

“…Beitchman et al [1986Beitchman et al [ , 1990Beitchman et al [ , 2001] identified significantly higher rates of anxiety disorder (social phobia, antisocial personality disorders) among children identified with early language impairment. Finegan et al [1994] measured language and behavior in children with Sotos syndrome, and speculated that behavioral issues commonly associated with Sotos syndrome are associated with specific language impairments of comprehension and word finding.…”

The purpose of this research study was to evaluate the communication of individuals with Sotos syndrome in order to better characterize common speech and language patterns. Sixteen children with Sotos syndrome received an in-depth communication assessment using standardized procedures. Assessments of speech skills, language skills, voice, fluency, and social-pragmatic interactions were completed. Results of the evaluations indicated that individuals with Sotos syndrome are prone to: (a) language impairments (particularly expressive), (b) speech sound production impairments, (c) voice impairments, (d) dysfluencies (stuttering), and (e) average social-behavioral pragmatic interaction characteristics.
