An Examination of Language Learning Disabilities in Youth with Psychiatric Disorders.

Javorsky, James

Annals of Dyslexia, v45 p215-31 1995

This study examined the relationship between psychiatric and language disorders in 96 youth (mean age 13) in a private psychiatric hospital. Over 33% of subjects exhibited significant deficits in both phonology and syntax, qualifying for a language learning disability diagnosis, but only 44% of this group were receiving special education services upon admission.
