Background:

Pragmatic language skills are crucial for social interaction and daily functioning.
Previous research suggests potential pragmatic language deficits in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but evidence is inconclusive.
A definitive understanding of these deficits is needed to inform interventions.

Conclusions:

Pragmatic language skills are significantly impaired in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) populations.
These findings highlight the importance of pragmatic language in socio-emotional development, daily life, and academic success.
Increased surveillance and targeted interventions for pragmatic language in ADHD are recommended.
