Language disorders and behavioral problems in preschool children
Abstract:
Preschoolers who present with resistant behavioral problems may have an accompanying language disorder. This paper describes a representative case of a child whose behavioral problem improved subsequent to identification of a language disorder, modification in parents' expectations and responses, and involvement in early education. Possible relationships among behavioral and language disorders, attentional and activity problems, and otitis media are discussed, and recommendations for early diagnosis and remediation are presented.
