3 ADHD a common, and commonly co- occurring, disorder Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) refers to the presence of pronounced difficulties in the areas of inattention, distractibility, and hyperactivity that lead to significant impairments in academic and social functioning (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed clinical conditions affecting approximately 5-7% of the student population (Willcutt, 2012). Co-occurring ADHD and communication disorders represent a frequently encountered challenge for school-based practitioners (American Speech Language Hearing Association, 2008). Determining the source of children s academic and social difficulties as either language-based, attention-based, or a combination of both can be a daunting task for assessment teams.

4 ADHD and LI ADHD has also been one of the most frequently reported co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders in study samples of children with language impairments (LI) (e.g. Beitchman, Hood, & Inglis, 1990; Benasich, Curtiss, & Tallal, 1993; Lindsay, Dockrell, & Strand, 2007; St. Clair, Pickles, Durkin, & Conti-Ramsden, 2011; Willinger et al., 2003). although the literature provides some discrepant findings with the extent to which co-occurrence rates have exceeded expectations based on general population estimates (cf. Lindsay & Dockrell, 2008; Redmond & Rice, 2002; Rescorla, Ross, & McClure, 2007; Whitehouse, Robinson, & Zubrick, 2011).

5 ADHD prevalence rate: APA (2013); Willcutt, (2012)

6 ADHD prevalence rate: APA (2013); Willcutt, (2012) ADHD diagnosis rate: both sexes CDC (2013)

7 ADHD prevalence rate: APA (2013); Willcutt, (2012) ADHD dx rate also varies as a function of locale: western states below 6%; southern/eastern states above 10% ADHD dx rate: both sexes CDC (2013) ADHD dx rate: males CDC (2013)

8 LI/SLI prevalence rate: Johnson et al., 1999; Tomblin et al., 1997 ADHD prevalence rate: APA (2013); Willcutt, (2012) ADHD dx rate: both sexes CDC (2013) ADHD dx rate: males CDC (2013)

9 LI/SLI prevalence rate: Johnson et al., 1999; Tomblin et al., 1997 LI/SLI dx rate:? ADHD prevalence rate: APA (2013); Willcutt, (2012) ADHD dx rate: both sexes CDC (2013) ADHD dx rate: males CDC (2013) Ironically, ASHA has tracked service provision for cases of ADHD but has never collected a census on the cases of primary LI/SLI served by SLPs

10 LI/SLI prevalence rate: Johnson et al., 1999; Tomblin et al., 1997 ADHD+LI Co-occurrence Lindsay & Dockrell (2008) Snowling et al (2006) Gualtieri et al 1983 ADHD prevalence rate: APA (2013); Willcutt, (2012) ADHD dx rate: both sexes CDC (2013) ADHD dx rate: males CDC (2013)

11 ADHD+LI Co-occurrence LI/SLI prevalence rate: Johnson et al., 1999; Tomblin et al., 1997 ADHD prevalence rate: APA (2013); Willcutt, (2012) ADHD dx rate: both sexes CDC (2013) Lindsay & Dockrell (2008); Snowling et al (2006) Redmond & Rice (2002); Willinger et al.

12 Informant as source of instability in ADHD+LI co-occurrence rates Children with specific learning disability may appear inattentive because of frustration, lack of interest, or limited ability. However, inattention in individuals with a specific learning disorder who do not have ADHD is not impairing outside of academic work (DSM 5 pg. 64) Teacher ratings vulnerable to negative halo effects when used with children who have LI or RD (Charach, Chen, Hogg- Johnson, & Schachar, 2009)

13 Co-occurrence rates are not very useful if measures cannot be trusted to differentiate cases of known SLI from cases of known ADHD Are language tests administered to children with ADHD valid? o Psychometric integrity of language measures for differential diagnosis

14 Do LI and ADHD interact with each other? o If language proficiency in ADHD+LI < LI then: 2 kinds of LI representing different developmental pathways Different prognoses Different interventions o If ADHD+LI = LI then: Models of LI that implicate attention deficits, executive dysfunction, or related weaknesses in information processing as causal contributors (e.g. Gilliam et al., 2009; Hedenius et al., 2011; Windsor & Kohnert, 2009) would be called into question

15 Psychometric Integrity: Redmond, Thompson & Goldstein (2011) Results: ADHD = TD > SLI: nonword repetition, sentence recall, tense-marking on lexical verbs (see also Parigger, 2012; Redmond 2004; 2005). Parigger (2012) reported no significant association between executive function measures and Dutch language versions of these measures in ADHD, SLI, or TD groups

19 Do LI and ADHD Interact with Each Other? Redmond, Ash & Hogan (in prep) ADHD+LI = SLI <TD: nonword repetition, sentence recall, tensemarking ADHD status had little noticeable impact on the affected children s performances. In fact, ADHD+LI group means were consistently higher than SLI means Correlational analyses detected a weak but significant association (r ~.30) between sentence recall and ADHD symptoms. i.e. Children with LI who had higher levels of behavioral difficulties tended to perform better than children whose parents had reported fewer ADHD symptoms.

20 ADHD as protective factor?! ADHD status might have functioned as a small protective factor for children with LI in our study sample because the presence of behavioral difficulties had increased the likelihood of referral and earlier identification. Maybe the presence of co-occurring behavioral difficulties was encouraging the provision of more intensive interventions. Stated differently: The presence of language impairments in the absence of additional behavioral difficulties may have needed to be relatively more severe in cases of SLI in order to trigger the same level of concern among teachers and other referral sources or the same kind of therapeutic response from clinicians (see Zhang & Tomblin, 2000).

29 Definitions Broad view: language use in social interactions o Social cognition, executive functions, social problemsolving, social knowledge, pragmatic language Slightly narrower view: linguistic behaviors related to language use o Figurative language (e.g., metaphor, irony, and idioms) inferencing skills, referential communication Related to structural language abilities (see Norbury, 2013 for review)

30 Definitions: DSM-5 (APA, 2013) Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder Persistent (significant) difficulties in pragmatics or the social uses of verbal and nonverbal communication in naturalistic contexts, which affects social reciprocity and social relationships o Cannot be explained by low abilities in word structure, grammar, or general cognitive ability Persistent difficulties in the acquisition and use of language.. for narrative, expository, and conversational discourse Functional limitations in effective communication, social participation, academic achievement, or occupational performance, alone or in any combination

31 ADHD and Social (Pragmatic) Communication Conversation samples: o More inappropriate pragmatic language behaviors (Cohen et al., 2000) including more mazes (Redmond, 2004), more interruptions, and less feedback to communication partners (Kim & Kaiser, 2000) Narrative samples: o Conflicting evidence for criterion-referenced measures Shorter samples (Cohen et al., 2000), more cohesion errors (Purvis & Tannock, 1995), fewer story grammar elements (see review by Tannock & Schachar, 1996) However, when language performance is considered (i.e., +/-LI), ADHD+LI < ADHD=TD (Luo & Timler, 2008; Parigger, 2012) o Norm-referenced: Test of Narrative Language (Gillam & Pearson, 2004) ADHD+LI < ADHD=TD (Redmond, Thompson, & Goldstein, 2011).

C And everybody got scared cause of the alien/s. C Their alien dog, their alien daughter, their alien mother and father, their alien sister, and their alien brother. C And everybody ran away. C That/'s that. A And that's it? C Can I name them? A Sure. C This one/'s Frank Junior. C This one/'s Debbie. C This one/'s Diana. C This one/'s Cindy.

33 TNL: Story Sample #2: Male with ADHD+LI (age 7;6) TNL Narrative Language Ability Index: 79, Oral Narration Subtest: 7 C Alien/s were fly/ing in space. C *they [Ep:they] drop/ed off to earth to see (all) all the forest and tree/s. C And they brung [EW:brought] the dog with them (because they) because the dog was/n't even go/ing to be left down in the basement. C You know because it was being bad. C And it want/ed to see all the animal/s of it/z friend/s [EU]. C and two kid/s just found them. C and they start/ed to go chase/ing after them. C And that bad alien over there just said "bye" and let/ed [EO:let] them stay on earth forever. C And that/'s her evil plan. C And now she walk/ed back into the spaceship to get more on earth. C And they both found the alien/s and start/ed chase/ing after them some more but they just did nothing. C All the alien/s did is just take one blink at them and put their suitcase down and ask/ed them some question/s on the bench. C That/'s it.

34 ADHD and Social (Pragmatic) Communication Parent report measures for identification of psychopathology: o DSM-5 and multiple social-emotional measures reflect overlap among items for psych diagnosis and pragmatic language (Redmond, 2002) Excessive talking, little attention to detail, frequent interruptions Parent report measures for the identification of pragmatic language deficits o In community samples of children without a diagnosis of ADHD, higher levels of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity are associated with pragmatic language weaknesses (Bignell & Cain, 2007; Ketelaars, et al., 2010; Leonard, Milich, & Lorch, 2011) o In children with a confirmed diagnosis of ADHD, pragmatic language skills are reportedly poorer than typical children and not dissimilar to children with autism spectrum disorder (Bishop & Baird; 2001; Bruce, Thernlund, & Nettelbladt, 2006; Geurts & Embrechts, 2008; Guerts et al., 2004; Helland, Biringer, Helland, & Heimann, 2012; Helland & Heimann, 2007)

35 Parent Report: Children s Communication Checklist-2 (CCC-2) CCC-2 (Bishop, 2006) pragmatic language scales: E) Initiation: it is difficult to stop him or her from talking F) Scripted Language: provides over-precise information in his or her talk G) Context: misses the point of jokes and puns H) Nonverbal Communication: does not look at the person he or she is talking to I) Social Relations: appears anxious in the company of other children J) Interests: shows interest in things or activities that most people would find unusual

40 CCC-2 Pragmatic Language Scales: Group Comparisons (ADHD +/- LI) Item analysis reveals further group differences among children with ADHD and children with ADHD +LI o Initiation Scale: Item 45: Asks a question even though he/she has been given the answer Reported as a more frequent behavior in children with ADHD+LI than in other two groups

41 Results & Clinical Implications Nonword repetition, sentence recall, and tense-marking tasks: ADHD+LI = SLI <TD o Clinical implications: Use these psycholinguistic measures to identify LI in young children with ADHD Parent report of pragmatic skills: ADHD+LI < ADHD < TD but further comparison with a SLI group is needed o When LI and ADHD in a young child is identified, complete comprehensive assessment of linguistic skills related to pragmatic language (e.g., figurative language, inferencing, cohesion in narratives and conversation, etc.) Some evidence that even mild differences in figurative language knowledge contributes to social problem solving deficits in adolescents with psychopathologies (Im-bolter, Cohen, & Farnia, 2013)
