Language Deficits in Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders: Practical Applications for Teachers
Getty, Laura A.; Summy, Sarah E.
Beyond Behavior, v15 n3 p15-22 Spr 2006
A limited body of research on language deficits in children with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) exists. However, initial studies have found a direct relationship between language deficits and EBD. Reading, writing, and math deficits have been found to co-occur in children with EBD and language deficits. Additionally, antisocial behaviors have also been reported in children with EBD and language deficits. A limitation of the research addressing the co-occurring conditions of EBD and language deficits is that it has focused on studying children in institutionalized and residential settings. However, educators can utilize the research findings to develop initial practical classroom and individualized interventions for students with EBD and language deficits. This article reviews the literature regarding children with EBD and language deficits, discusses implications of co-occurring disorders, makes suggestions for teachers and the school-based speech-language pathologists, and suggests areas of need in the EBD and language research.
