Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Adolescents with developmental language disorders (DLDs) often face academic challenges despite lacking obvious symptoms.
  • Subtle language deficits significantly impede school-related tasks requiring advanced language skills.
  • Current interventions may not adequately address the complex needs of this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the challenges faced by adolescents with DLDs in educational settings.
  • To propose actionable strategies for improving support and intervention for these students.
  • To advocate for enhanced professional training and collaboration.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on DLDs in adolescents.
  • Analysis of challenges in school-based language development.
  • Discussion of current intervention gaps.
  • Formulation of recommendations for stakeholders.

Main Results:

  • Adolescents with DLDs experience significant difficulties in academic tasks due to sophisticated language demands.
  • Lack of visible symptoms often leads to under-identification and inadequate support.
  • Existing interventions may not be tailored to the specific needs of this age group.

Conclusions:

  • Continued advocacy for adolescent rights is essential.
  • Increased collaboration between speech-language pathologists and school professionals is vital.
  • Revising communication sciences and disorders training programs is necessary to better prepare speech-language pathologists for adolescent DLDs.
