Behavioural problems in children with specific language impairments

In this study, the behavioural problems of children with specific language impairments (SLI) were explored. 'Specific language impairments' refers to problems in language production or language comprehension that can not be explained by the presence of other problems, such as hearing
impairments or cognitive developmental problems. The language problem is the only developmental problem of the child. Several studies indicate that children with language impairments are at risk for having behavioural
problems. However, a broad range of percentages of behavioural problems in these children are mentioned and the studies show a great variety in age of the children in the sample, type of language problems and materials to assess behavioural problems. In our study we were interested in the extent and type of behavioural problems in children with SLI in the ages of 8 to 12 years. Furthermore ,the relation between specific language impairments and behavioural problems was explored.
