Behavioral Genetics and Developmental Disabilities
Published in Merlin G. Butler, F. John Meaney, Genetics of Developmental Disabilities, 2019
There are four types of communication disorders described in DSM-IV. These are communication disorders, expressive language (verbalizing thoughts), mixed receptive (understanding others’ spoken language), expressive language disorder, and phonologic (articulation) and stuttering (speech interrupted by repeated or prolonged sounds, syllables, or words (see Ref. (12). These subtypes of communication problems are comorbid and behavioral genetic studies suggest that expressive and receptive disorders share a common genetic etiology, but different genetic factors appear to be operating between articulation disorders and other communication problems (13).
Signs and Symptoms in Psychiatry
Published in Mohamed Ahmed Abd El-Hay, Essentials of Psychiatric Assessment, 2018
The language that one learns first is the one that is more “automatic” or “over-learned” and, consequently, better preserved if one is rendered aphasic (Ribot rule). However, the language most recently learned and used may be the one that is best preserved in aphasia (Pitres’ law). Receptive language disorder refers to difficulties in understanding others, while expressive language disorder refers to difficulties in verbal communication of thoughts, ideas, and feelings.

The prevalence of SSD in children who are diagnosed with DLD is estimated within a range from 9% to 77%, although most studies estimate that between 40% and 60% of children with DLD also display problems in their phonological development (Tyler, 2002). We know that children who are diagnosed with expressive DLD usually have a smaller phonemic inventory and produce fewer consonants correctly (which is reflected in the Percentage Consonants Correct, PCC) than typically developing children (Roberts, Rescorla, Giroux, & Stevens, 1998). However, the coding system of the DSM-5 explicitly differentiates between SSD only, SSD and language disorders, and SSD and other pervasive disorders (Waring & Knight, 2013). In this study we examine children with SSD, which in accordance with the DSM-5 can consist of both articulation and phonological-based disorders, as well as a language disorder, which in correspondence with the DSM-5 comprises both expressive language disorder and mixed receptive-expressive disorder (Waring & Knight, 2013).

Both in-person and telemethod screenings identified the same two children (one child in the age range of 5 to 5;11 years and another child in the age range of 7 to 7;11 years) who obtained scores below the 80% criteria for both receptive and expressive domains. These children were noted to be at-risk of having mixed receptive and expressive language disorder and were referred for detailed assessment. Two other children demonstrated scores below 90% of total scores for expressive language alone suggesting risk for the presence of delay in expressive language skills. These findings agreed with the teachers’ referrals of these children as having concerns in speech and language. In addition to language delays, SLPs noted the presence of speech sound errors in one child, speech dysfluencies in one child, and both speech sound errors and dysfluencies in one child during both telemethod screening and in-person screening performed independently. These errors were noted by the SLPs as part of informal observations while interacting with children and recording responses of the children during the assessment of expressive language skills.

Nearly, all participants had previously had undergone stuttering treatment (49 out of 51; for five participants no information about preceding therapy was available), 29 of whom had had more than one course of treatment. In most cases (20) therapy had been conducted once a week, in 17 cases twice weekly, in 11 cases three times weekly and in four cases more often than that. For 27 of the participants, a history of receptive and expressive language disorder was reported. Other comorbidities were attention-deficit hyperactivity (HA) disorder in three, perception disorders in four, learning disability in six, and motoric disorders in six participants. The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of the Federal Medical Association. All participants and all parents signed informed consent forms.
