Abstract

Purpose

There is an emerging view that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is marked by problems with language difficulties, an idea reinforced by the fact that ADHD is highly comorbid with developmental language disorder (DLD). This scoping review provides an overview of literature on language abilities in children with DLD and ADHD while highlighting similarities and differences.

Method

A comprehensive search was performed to examine the literature on language abilities in the two disorders, yielding a total of 18 articles that met the inclusion criteria for the present review. Qualitative summaries are provided based on the language domain assessed.

Results

The current literature suggests children and adolescents with ADHD have better morphosyntax/grammar, general/core language abilities, receptive, and expressive abilities than those with DLD. Further, that performance is comparable on assessments of semantic and figurative language but varies by sample on assessments of phonological processing, syntax, narrative language, and vocabulary.

Conclusion

Evidence presented points to children and adolescents with DLD as having greater language difficulties compared to those with ADHD, but with some important caveats. Despite limitations related to the paucity of studies and inconsistencies in how the two types of disorders are identified, our review provides a necessary and vital step in better understanding the language profiles of these two highly prevalent childhood disorders. These findings are useful in optimizing language outcomes and treatment efficacy for children and adolescents with ADHD and DLD.

DLD和ADHD儿童和青少年的语言能力：范围界定综述。

目的：有一种新的观点认为，注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）的特点是语言困难，这一观点因ADHD与发展性语言障碍（DLD）高度共病而得到加强。这篇范围界定综述概述了DLD和ADHD儿童语言能力的文献，同时强调了相似性和差异性。方法：对这两种障碍的语言能力文献进行全面检索，共产生18篇符合本综述纳入标准的文章。根据评估的语言领域提供定性总结。结果：目前的文献表明，多动症儿童和青少年比DLD儿童和青少年具有更好的形态句法/语法、一般/核心语言能力、接受和表达能力。此外，在语义和比喻语言的评估中，这种表现是可比的，但在语音处理、句法、叙事语言和词汇的评估中因样本而异。结论：有证据表明，与多动症儿童和青少年相比，患有DLD的儿童和青少年有更大的语言困难，但有一些重要的注意事项。尽管研究不足以及如何识别这两种类型的障碍存在不一致性，但我们的综述为更好地理解这两种高度流行的儿童障碍的语言特征提供了必要而重要的一步。这些发现有助于优化患有多动症和DLD的儿童和青少年的语言结果和治疗效果。
