Language abilities in children and adolescents with DLD and ADHD: A scoping review

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.PMID:37797400 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106381
