Published: October 2003

Objective: The objective of the study was to explore the univariate and multivariate differences in behavioural problems among children with disorders in expressive or mixed receptive-expressive language development and children with unimpaired language development.

Method: Ninety-four children with language development disorders (LDD) between the ages of 4 and 6 years and 94 children (matched by age and sex) without disorders of language development were compared concerning behavioural problems, as measured by the German version of the Child Behavior Checklist/4-18.

Results: Thirty-two children (34%) with LDD showed behavioural problems in the clinical range, whereas only 6 control subjects (6%) had scores in this range. Univariate group comparisons between patients and control subjects showed significant differences in all 8 syndromes and the scale "other problems," with patients having higher scores. Multivariate stepwise discriminant analysis showed a significant discriminant function by the scales "other problems," "social problems," "anxious-depressed," "thought problems," "attention problems," and "delinquent problems."

Conclusions: In general, our results agree with several studies that report that children with speech and language disorders are at special risk for developing behavioural problems. Neurodevelopmental immaturity may be one factor underlying both the disorder in language development and the behavioural problems.

Objective: To examine the odds of children aged 0-5 in center-based childcare programs receiving referrals for health screenings and developmental assessments, controlling for children's races/ethnicities and provider and program factors.

Methods: We conducted secondary analyses using the 2019 National Survey for Early Care and Education (NSECE) Center-based Provider survey. We used multivariate logistic regression models to estimate referral odds for health screenings and developmental assessments from centers without these services onsite.

This paper highlights cardiovascular disease (CVD) preventive access challenges and potential intervention strategies that address cardiovascular preventive service access gaps among African immigrants living in developed countries. Migration, coupled with changes in dietary habits, socio-economic factors, and cultural adjustments, contributes to a heightened risk of CVD among African immigrants. This risk is compounded by a lack of targeted preventive interventions and culturally tailored programmes, as well as challenges related to language barriers, health literacy, and digital literacy.

Language comprehension is an essential component of human development that is associated not only with expressive language development and knowledge acquisition, but also with social inclusion, mental health, and quality of life. For deaf and hard-of-hearing adults with intellectual disability, there is a paucity of measures of receptive sign language skills, although these are a prerequisite for individualized planning and evaluation of intervention. Assessments require materials and procedures that are accurate, feasible, and suitable for low levels of functioning.
