Language delay in children .. Causes and Consequences (Part II)

Language delay in children .Causes and Consequences (Part II)

Show the difficulty in proving that language disorder in children due to injury linguistic areas in the brain or not sufficiently evolution, and therefore the child's inability to acquire and learn the language or suffering from a disorder in different aspects of the language. At the current time, used the term «specific language disorder, known SLD language to describe the disorder when this group of children.

The second group of disorders linguistic contrast from the first group be caused turmoil linguistic clear where suffering child of disorder specific and be the language problem or delay in acquiring the result of this disorder that is language disorder is secondary to the underlying problem suffered by the child, hence the label disorders language secondary.

One of the most important disorders and the factors that cause a delay or disruption in the language to point out the following:

1 weakness or hearing loss:

Different disorders language when injury hearing in severity from child to child, depending on the factors and conditions many of the most important time of injury hearing, there is a difference in language abilities between a child born infected with the loss or hearing impairment and between the child who gets hearing loss after language acquisition or acquire a reasonable amount of linguistic abilities, in the first case to be tougher language problem.

It also depends on the effectiveness of early intervention and to acquire Palmain audio right and proper for a hearing problem whenever there was effective early intervention is true whenever evolved language abilities better and enables the child to acquire language and speech and oral communicative performance well. Among other things that depend on them the severity of the problem of language when infected hearing is the degree and severity of hearing loss a child who suffers from a slight weakness in the hearing does not exceed a level of 40 dB dB different from a child who suffers from severe hearing loss or profound and beyond level 90 dB dB.

2 decline in mental abilities:

There a very close relationship between the incidence of impaired mental capacity or mental disabilities and language disorders, and is recognized by all specialists with speech and language disorders that a child who is suffering from decline in mental abilities, they must suffer from a disorder of the language and the reverse is not true.

It is noticeable here that the severity of the disorder linguistic be tougher than the severity of any mental disability have a child with mental retardation is simple but language disorder be moderate in intensity while the child who suffers from mental retardation average be a language problem of the severe degree. The reason here is that language is one of the high mental abilities in the brain and are classified as senior positions in the brain.

Manifestations of language when mentally disabled children vary in severity from child to child, depending on the severity of mental retardation - as mentioned earlier - and depending on the effectiveness of early intervention and the extent of the involvement of family practice training and language stimulation. Generally note the following linguistic manifestations when people with mental disability:

1 - complete absence of language or any means of communication and we find such a disorder in severe mental disability.

2 - limiting the language on a few simple votes issued by the child to express his needs.

3 - twice the capacity evident in expressive and receptive language.

4 - delays in speech and language acquisition.

5 - obviously slow to acquire certain aspects of the language.

6 - slow stages of language development.

There are other aspects of the language disorder in children with mental disability does not fit the place to mention all of them.

3 bilingualism or bilingualism:

Different researchers among themselves on the issue of bilingualism in the sense of more than one language at home was used Father language different from the language used by the mother, and the impact on the emergence of disorder in the language of the child there are many studies emphasize not affected child's language when there is more than one language at home.

In contrast there are studies that confirm that the presence of more than one language in the vicinity of the child will adversely affect the development and language acquisition, depending on the presence of a difference between linguistic systems used in each language, such as building structure and rules phonological and other manifestations of language and this difference will disrupt a child's ability to acquire Language or cause confusion between the two languages ​​when the child and thus the loss of the ability to acquire language.

And we point out that the existence of more than one language in the vicinity of the child will certainly affect the child who has the willingness to turmoil linguistic, and the reality of our process we noticed that there were children behind in language acquisition or acquired language improperly just because there is more than one language at home or that the language to be used in the nursery (or K) enrolled child is different from the language used in the home. And advice that can be offered to the reader here is the education of the child-sufficiency one language when you note that there is a delay or disruption in whatever language acquisition this disorder was simple, and move on to learn the other language when the child was able to acquire the mother tongue.

Genetic factors and language delays

Disorders are more children who suffered one of their parents from the disorder language or words in years of early childhood as well as in families where there are people with disorders in speech and language, At present there are studies that indicate to the discovery of genes related to the delay language in children.

Premature birth and delays in language acquisition

Studies indicate that the incidence of delayed linguistic preterm children born before time is much higher than that found at other children.

Autism

Described autism as a communication disorder, it is more than what is observed in children with autism is a classic and a deficit in the qualitative and quantitative oral communication and non-verbal, and often takes the language disorder autistic when certain qualities and distinctive when this group of children.

ADHD

A large number of patients with this disorder notes have also disorder in language development, and that takes a variety of forms, and even now it is not known precisely relationship disorder attention deficit and concentration disorder language, but it is recognized is that language acquisition needs of the child attention and the ability the normal tradition and dealing with perceptions and the ability to store and retrieve information and the ability to observe the relationship between the sounds that make up the word and meaning associated with these sounds.

Environmental impact

It is known that the innate willingness to language acquisition can not be the child alone to learn and acquire language, there is a need for a stimulating environment to help children acquire language.

A child who lives in an environment to help him acquire language and provide him with the knowledge and expertise and linguistic information will acquire speech and language faster and much better than a child who is not exposed to enough linguistic expertise.

Other factors and conditions

In addition to the foregoing factors and other reasons behind the language disorders in children or child reason for the delay in language acquisition, but the mechanism of action and the impact of these factors is not clear precisely.

For example I noticed some studies and a case of delay in language acquisition at Twin similar, more than Twin is similar, and attributed these studies reason for this is that the parents speak with only one child in the case of Twin similar, and other child does not get on language expertise adequate and that the similarity severe between boys!.

And we noticed that there are similar, twin «invented» private language communicate different from the language spoken by parents and continue up to the age of five or six years and then begin using twin language spoken in the home.
