Evaluating the Pattern of Relationships of Speech and Language Deficits with Executive Functions, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Facets of Giftedness in Greek Preschool Children. A Preliminary Analysis.

Speech and language deficits often occur in preschool children, and empirical studies have indicated an association between language impairments and challenges in different cognitive domains. The primary aim of the current study was to evaluate the associations between speech and language deficits, executive function (EF) impairments, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and aspects of giftedness in Greek preschoolers based on assessments from their teachers. Investigating the associations between aspects of EFs, ADHD, and giftedness was another objective of the current study.
