“…Annette Karmiloff-Smith pioneered a cross-syndrome approach to the study of cognition in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs;Brown et al, 2003;Paterson et al, 2006;Scerif et al, 2004). Her cross-syndrome approach has advanced the understanding of a wide range of phenomena, including language development (Kelly et al, 2013;Lindgren et al, 2009), face and emotion recognition (Annaz et al, 2009;Dimitriou et al, 2015;Martínez-Castilla et al, 2015), attention (Cornish et al, 2012;Scerif et al, 2004), sleep (Ashworth et al, 2013(Ashworth et al, , 2017D'Souza et al, 2020), psychopathology (Rodgers et al, 2012;Royston et al, 2019;Woodcock et al, 2009), sensory processing (Hannant et al, 2018;Heald et al, 2020) and social/adaptive behaviour (Hamner et al, 2019;Sumner et al, 2016;Williams et al, 2013).…”

“…At the same time, there was a high prevalence of emotional and behavioral disturbances in these children and young people. Most previous studies report similarly high DBC overall scale and subscale scores (Dimitropoulos et al, 2009; Einfeld et al, 1999; Einfeld et al, 2014; O'Donoghue et al, 2005; Rice, Lagopoulos, et al, 2016; Richdale et al, 1999; Royston et al, 2020; Sarimski et al, 2012; Sinnema et al, 2011), although some of the continental studies reported lower scores (Jauregi et al, 2013; Salles et al, 2016; Steinhausen et al, 2002). The majority of respondents in the present study reported skin‐picking, a poor sense of danger, impulsivity, lying, temper tantrums, and other behaviors already described in the literature as typical of PWS (Dimitropoulos et al, 2009; Einfeld et al, 1999; Rice, Gray, et al, 2016; Sarimski et al, 2012; Steinhausen et al, 2002).…”

Prader‐Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder associated with emotional/behavioral disturbances. These difficulties are well documented in the literature, but the positive attributes of these individuals are not described. Taking a strengths‐based approach, the aim of this study was to describe the emotional/behavioral strengths and difficulties in children and young people with PWS from their parent caregivers' perspectives. Parent caregivers of 52 individuals with PWS aged 4–24 years (median = 12.1 years; including 22 males) completed the parent form of the Developmental Behavior Checklist (DBC‐P), including its original two open‐ended questions regarding positive traits. Prevalences of emotional/behavioral disturbances were comparable to those reported in previous literature: common behaviors of concern across studies being skin‐picking (75%), impulsivity (69%), poor sense of danger (67%), lying (67%), and tantrums (54%). Total DBC‐P scores showed that just over half (n = 28, 54%) had scores indicative of clinically significant behavior problems. However, thematic analysis of caregivers' written comments regarding their children's strengths resolved into three themes: warmth (94%), persistence (41%), and skills (41%). Warmth encompassed friendliness, happiness, and empathy. A strength‐based approach to behavioral difficulties in PWS provides a more balanced view of the children and a more holistic foundation for interventions.

“…This research is pivotal in understanding the multifaceted challenges faced by parents of children with developmental delays, specifically focusing on primary and secondary speech and language delays. In the context of developmental disorders, the study delves into the comparative analysis of parental stress in families of children with various syndromes, including Down, Williams, Fragile X, and Prader-Willi syndromes (16,17). This comparative approach is crucial as it highlights the differential impact of various developmental disorders on family dynamics.…”

Background: The prevalence and impact of delayed speech and language disorders in children have increasingly become a concern, particularly regarding the psychological well-being of their parents. Prior research has explored various factors influencing parental stress in families with children suffering from different developmental disorders, including Down, Williams, Fragile X, and Prader-Willi syndromes. However, there is a need to understand specifically how delayed speech and language disorders in children affect the emotional states of their parents. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression among parents of children with primary and secondary speech and language delays. It sought to identify the predominant emotional states in these parents and understand the relationship between the child's developmental status and the parent's emotional well-being. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Multan, involving parents of 70 children with delayed speech and language disorders. Using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) Inventory, parents were assessed for levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. The study employed a non-probability convenient sampling technique, and the data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 23. Results: The analysis showed significant correlations between depression, anxiety, and stress. Depression had a mean score of 6.986, anxiety had a mean score of 5.529, and stress showed the highest mean score at 7.971. These results indicate that stress is the most prevalent emotional issue among these parents, exceeding the levels of depression and anxiety. Conclusion: The study concludes that parents of children with delayed speech and language disorders in Multan experience high levels of stress, overshadowing other negative emotional states like depression and anxiety. These findings highlight the need for targeted support and interventions for these families, focusing not only on the child's development but also on the mental health and well-being of the caregivers.
