Psychosoziale Belastungen bei Sprachentwicklungsstörungen

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1026/0942-5403/a000198

Zusammenfassung. Die umschriebenen Entwicklungsstörungen des Sprechens und der Sprache gehören zu den häufigsten Entwicklungsstörungen. Aufgrund der zentralen Bedeutung sprachlicher Kompetenzen für verschiedene Lebensbereiche beeinträchtigen Sprachentwicklungsstörungen nicht nur die schulische, sondern auch die soziale und emotionale Entwicklung eines Kindes und wirken bis ins Jugend- und Erwachsenenalter hinein. Es folgt eine Übersicht über die psychosozialen Belastungen bei betroffenen Kindern und Jugendlichen sowie ihren Angehörigen. Kinder mit Sprachentwicklungsstörungen tragen ein erhöhtes Risiko für komorbide internalisierende und externalisierende Störungen sowie für Schwierigkeiten mit Gleichaltrigen, die im Jugendalter zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen. Eltern von Kindern mit Sprachentwicklungsstörungen weisen im Vergleich zur Allgemeinbevölkerung höhere Stress- und Depressionswerte auf, die insbesondere durch die mangelnde Akzeptanz und Unterstützung durch das soziale Umfeld beeinflusst werden. Es existieren zu wenig therapeutische Angebote, die auf die besondere Situation der Betroffenen angepasst sind. Die Implikationen für Forschung und klinische Praxis werden diskutiert.


Psychosocial Stress at Specific Language Impairment

Abstract. With a prevalence of 5 – 8 %, specific developmental disorders of speech and language are among the most common developmental disorders. Impaired language skills strongly influence other areas of development. Owing to the essential importance of language abilities for different aspects of life, developmental language disorders impair not only the educational but also the social and emotional development of children and they continue into adolescence and adulthood. Not only the affected children and adolescents themselves, but also their families are heavily strained by social impairments and mental health problems. This paper gives an overview of the psychosocial stress in affected children and adolescents and their families. It is assumed that about 30 % of children with developmental language disorders meet other psychiatric diagnoses, too. They are at increased risk for comorbid internalizing and externalizing disorders. Thus, children with developmental language impairments more often show attention deficits, emotional problems, and aggressive behavior. Furthermore, their higher risk for difficulties with peers becomes increasingly more important in adolescence. The affected children and adolescents have difficulties in building friendships and are more often victims of defamation (bullying) than their peers. In comparison with the general population, parents of children with developmental language disorders show higher values in stress and depression. These higher values are particularly affected by the lack of acceptance and support by the social environment. Moreover, mothers of children with developmental language impairments show more disappointment and feelings of aggression based on the developmental problems of their children. Additionally, conflicts occur more frequently in these families. Possible causes of psychosocial stress in developmental language disorders are discussed. For example, possible causes of emotional problems in children with developmental language disorders are difficulties in the control of emotional processes, frequent failure, frustration, a lack of acceptance of schoolmates, low joy for learning, and reduced belief in their own competence. There are not enough therapeutic services adapted to the particular situation of the affected children, and most of them are based on written or oral language. The additional emotional and behavioral problems, as well as problems with peers, in children and adolescents with developmental language disorders require speech therapy as well as psychotherapeutic treatments to ensure optimal support. Moreover, work with parents should be implemented, and parent training appears to be particularly effective. Future research should investigate the association between the severity and extent of symptoms, the psychosocial stress of affected children, and the strain of their parents.
