Description

The weight of the psychiatric literature suggests that children with speech-language disorders are an at-risk group for emotional and behavioural problems. In addition, a number of childhood psychiatric syndromes and delays in psychomotor function are characterized by speech-language dysfunctions. This work explores the disorders that cause speech/language dysfunctions, the sequelae of these dysfunctions, the prevalence and types of psychiatric disorders in children with speech/language dysfunction, and the correlation between the presence of psychiatric disorders and the type of speech/language disturbance.
