Children with specific language impairment (SLI) show lower self-esteem in older age groups. This study found older children with SLI perceived themselves more negatively in scholastic and social areas compared to peers.

Area of Science:

  • Child psychology
  • Developmental psychology
  • Speech and language pathology

Background:

  • Specific language impairment (SLI) affects language acquisition and use in children.
  • Self-perception and self-esteem are crucial developmental aspects influenced by social and academic experiences.
  • Understanding the psychosocial impact of SLI is essential for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and compare the self-perceptions of children with SLI and typically developing children.
  • To examine age-related differences in self-esteem between these groups.
  • To identify specific domains where children with SLI may experience altered self-perception.

Main Methods:

  • A self-esteem measure was administered to two age groups: 6–9 years and 10–13 years.

  • Participants included children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typically developing peers.
  • Statistical analyses were performed to compare self-perception scores between groups.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in self-perception were found between younger children with SLI and their typically developing peers.
    • Older children with SLI reported significantly lower self-perceptions in scholastic competence, social acceptance, and behavioral conduct.
    • The observed differences in older children correlated with areas most impacted by language impairment.

    Conclusions:

    • Age is a critical factor in the development of self-perception for children with SLI.
    • Older children with SLI are at higher risk for negative self-perceptions, particularly in language-dependent domains.
    • Early identification and support for SLI may mitigate long-term impacts on self-esteem and psychosocial adjustment.
