The extent to which symptoms of social (pragmatic) communication difficulties may be differentiated from other language and socioemotional disorders was considered using a community-sourced sample of 2nd-3rd graders with and without language impairments. Participants were administered standardized language, reading, and nonlinguistic cognitive measures. Parents provided standardized ratings of their children’s social (pragmatic) communication proficiencies. Factor analysis indicated that social (pragmatic) symptoms shared a factor structure with other socioemotional behavioral constructs (e.g., ADHD, Conduct Problems). This overlap may make it difficult for clinicians and researchers to disambiguate social (pragmatic) communication difficulties from other childhood socioemotional behavioral issues. This project was supported by a grant from the NIDCD (R01DC011023). |
