Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between different language skills (pragmatic, expressive, receptive, and narrative) and social and academic functioning in children with ADHD compared to neurotypical peers.
- It involved 46 children with ADHD and 40 neurotypical children aged 7 to 11, who completed various language tasks, while parents assessed their social and academic performance.
- Findings suggest that children with ADHD showed significant differences in language skills and that issues in pragmatic and expressive language contribute to challenges in social interactions and academic performance.
While children with ADHD are reported to have language problems, it is less clear if their ability to use language to tell a story (i.e., form a narrative) is impaired.
