Semantic and Syntactic Deficits in Malayalam-Speaking Children with Learning Disability

Dr. Swapna Sebastian, Oviya M P, Ramanadham Thejesh, and
Dr. Shyamala K.C.

The prevalence of speech–language delay among children has been reported to be about 2.3 to 19 percent (depending on the definition and the population studied) and about 2% to 8% attending paediatric outpatient department (1). Long term consequences of language impairment on school population have been studied by researchers. The language difficulties exhibited by most children with language impairment persist through out childhood and into early adolescence and these children with a history of preschool language impairments commonly have been reported to have academic difficulties (2–5).

Studies also show that children with dyslexia may present with relatively weak language skills compared with typically developing peers (6, 7).

Even though children with language-based learning disabilities compensate for their language deficits because they are very intelligent during early elementary school, as they progress into higher classes, the demand for language escalates and they suddenly seem frustrated, angry and anxious. The change in behaviour is attributed to “typical adolescent behaviour”.

The present study aimed at comparing the different aspects of language among school going learning disabled children with that of normal peers.

The study was planned with the following objective:
To compare the language skills of children with learning disability between the age group of 5-9 years with that of normal children.
