This chapter is a joint discussion of key items presented in Chapters 4.1 and 4.2 related to the assessment of deaf and hearing children on the autism spectrum . From these chapters it becomes apparent that a number of aspects associated with signed language assessment are relevant to spoken language assessment. For example, there are several precautions to bear in mind about language assessments obtained via an interpreter. Some of these precautions apply solely to D/HH children, while others are applicable to assessments with hearing children in multilingual contexts. Equally, there are some aspects of spoken language assessment that can be applied to signed language assessment. These include the importance of assessing pragmatic language skills, assessing multiple areas of language development, differentiating between ASD and other developmental disorders, and completing the language evaluation within a developmental framework. The authors conclude with suggestions for both spoken and signed language assessment.

Objective: To establish and broaden the phenotypic spectrum of secretory carrier membrane protein (SCAMP5) associated with epilepsy and neurodevelopmental delay.Methods: A Chinese patient was identified at the First Hospital of Peking University, and the three unrelated patients were recruited from two different countries (Italy and United States) through GeneMatcher. SCAMP5 pathogenic variants were identified by whole exome sequencing; clinical data of the patients were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Result: The onset age of seizures was ranged from 6 to 15 months. Patients had different types of seizures, including focal seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures and tonic seizure. One patient showed typical autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms. Electroencephalogram (EEG) findings presented as focal or multifocal discharges, sometimes spreading to generalization. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities were present in each patient. Severe intellectual disability and language and motor developmental disorders were found in our patients, with all patients having poor language development and were nonverbal at last follow-up. All but one of the patients could walk independently in childhood, but the ability to walk independently in one patient had deteriorated with age. All patients had abnormal neurological exam findings, mostly signs of extrapyramidal system involvement. Dysmorphic features were found in 2/4 patients, mainly in the face and trunk. All four unrelated patients were found to have the same heterozygous pathogenic SCAMP5 de novo variant (p. Gly180Trp).Conclusion: Epilepsy, severe developmental delay, abnormal neurological exam findings, with or without ASD or variably dysmorphic features and were common in patients with SCAMP5 variant. The onset time and type of seizure varied greatly. The EEG and brain MRI findings were not consistent, but diverse and nonspecific. The motor ability of patients with heterozygous SCAMP5 variant might have a regressive course; language development was more severely affected.

Gestures and facial expressions appear in child communication before she/he is able to say the first word, and their qualitative and quantitative growth is considered an indicator of future language development. The aims of this article is review of the research available in literature on the use of gestures in the communication process of children whose development is typically and children with developmental disorders. There is an evidence that the differences in the development of gestures communication in children with typical and atypical development allow to predict potential language delays.

One language development of children who appear to be less than perfect is gifted or giftedness. This imperfect development received the attention of experts in the fields of language, health, and education, as well as other experts. At present the problem of gifted children is diagnosed with various behavioral disorders, mental disorders, and developmental disorders, so that for the needs of care, guidance, and education for him gifted children should be detected early so that guidance can be given according to their needs. Khalid, a 6-year-old child has gifted characteristics. Khalid's curiosity was so high that he did not take into account the risks of getting answers from his curiosity. When you want something Khalid wants to impose the will, so that the goal is achieved. Khalid is indicated to experience behavioral disorders, mental disorders and is very fond of toy collections. Khalid's parents must be observant and understand the development of their children, because despite having behavioral, mental disorders and fans of toy collections, Khalid actually has an advantage that is very beneficial for his future such as a very strong desire to do and realize things and have curiosity very high against any phenomenon that interests him. Report on the Development of Students from the school where Khalid learned to show information that Khalid stood out one of them in an attitude of curiosity.Keywords: gifted, development, behavior, mental.


Since the digital era began, especially in the 2000s, children began to know computers or gadgets in their daily activities. In Indonesia, in recent years, a 2-year-olds child use a lot of gadgets and watch TV in their daily lives. Anamnesa results show that on average, children are played TV show about 6 to 8 hours a day since they are still babies. This resulted in the ability of children in terms of communication, fine motor, focus and interaction of children with the surrounding people to be reduced. Over the past 10 years, 80 percent of patients who have speech delays, hyperactivity and other developmental disorders, start using gadgets and televisions since they were infants. The most common symptoms are the lack of response to the surrounding and a delayed 2-way communication. This shows that the use of electronics such as gadgets and television excessively, since the baby period, will ultimately effect the development of the cerebrum of the brain, which is very useful for language development and response to the surrounding.

This chapter discusses a number of developmental disorders that impact language acquisition, and their possible relevance to understanding how language is typically acquired. The chapter begins with a discussion of whether language can be selectively impaired relative to general cognitive abilities, and whether it can be selectively spared. The second half of the chapter discusses how exactly language does and does not “go wrong.” The topics include the relevance of “deviance” and whether there is any evidence for it, and a discussion of the critical importance of both cross-disorder comparisons of the same linguistic phenomena, and of cross-linguistic comparisons of children with the same disorder.

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang. Penelitian-penelitian terdahulu menunjukkan prevalensi gangguan perkembangan pada anak usia 0-5 tahun masih tinggi. Gangguan ini akan semakin kompleks jika tidak terdeteksi secara dini dan mendapatkan penanganan yang tepat. Oleh karena itu, program ini bertujuan untuk mendeteksi secara dini gangguan perkembangan pada siswa Pusteblume Daycare Yogyakarta. Target dan luaran program ini adalah: diketahuinya capaian perkembangan setiap siswa, terdeteksinya gangguan perkembangan siswa dan rujukan ke ahlinya secara dini, guru pengasuh/ pendamping dan orang tua memahami capaian perkembangan anak dan dapat memberikan stimulasi yang sesuai. Metode. Program ini dilaksanakan terhadap 32 siswa Pusteblume Daycare Yogyakarta pada bulan November 2019. Untuk mendeteksi gangguan perkembangan anak digunakan Denver Development Screening Test (DDST) II versi Bahasa Indonesia. Sesudah deteksi, dilakukan sesi konsultasi dan edukasi kepada guru pendamping masing-masing siswa. Hasil. Persentase siswa dengan suspect keterlambatan perkembangan ringan: motorik kasar (6,25%), bahasa (9,37%), motorik halus (12,50%), dan personal-sosial (3,12%). Terdapat 1 siswa yang dirujuk ke terapis wicara terkait keterlambatan perkembangan bahasa. Guru dan orang tua telah diedukasi tentang bagaimana menstimulasi siswa berdasarkan capaian perkembangannya. Simpulan. Mayoritas siswa Pusteblume Daycare Yogyakarta memiliki capaian perkembangan yang normal. Kata kunci: deteksi dini, perkembangan anak, DDST II  ABSTRACT Background. Previous studies showed the prevalence of developmental disorders in children aged 0-5 years is still high. This disorder will be more complex if it is not early detected and got the appropriate intervention. Therefore, this program aimed to detect early developmental disorders of Pusteblume Daycare Yogyakarta students. The target and output of this program were: students' developmental achievements were known, students' developmental disorders were early detected and referred to the expert, teachers and parents understood their child's development and providing appropriate stimulation. Methods. This program was carried out on 32 students of Pusteblume Daycare Yogyakarta in November 2019. The Denver Development Screening Test (DDST) II-Indonesian version was used to detect the developmental disorder. After the detection, consultation and the educational session were carried out for the teachers accompanying each student. Results. Students suspected of mild delay in development were: gross motoric (6.25%), language (9.37%), fine motoric (12.50%), and personal-social (3.12%). One student delayed in language development was referred to the speech therapist. Teachers and parents were educated on how to stimulate the students based on their development achievement. Conclusion. Most Pusteblume Daycare Yogyakarta students have normal developmental achievements.  Keywords: early detection, child development, DDST II

This study focuses on the potential role of prosodic "boundary features" in developmental disorders of morphosyntax. As exemplified melodically by the final portion of the falling tone and rhythmically by final syllable lengthening, boundary features mark the right edge of major constituent units in speech and thus phonetically reflect syntactic structure on the level of clauses and sentences. To resolve conflicting findings about the development of boundary features in children with specific language impairment (SLI), this study describes the falling tone and final syllable lengthening in the spontaneous speech of 10 four-year-old children with the phonologic-syntactic type of SLI and 10 four-year-old children with normal language development. The results—indicating that some prosodic boundary features are normal in preschoolers with SLI—show that impairments of morphology and syntax on the segmental level of the grammar do not implicate systematic deficits in syntax-sensitive features on the suprasegmental level. The potential dissociation between prosodic and morphosyntactic development is shown most clearly by the remarkable robustness of the falling tone, which was observed in 9 of the 10 children with SLI, in spite of the moderate to severe deficits they demonstrated in segmental phonology, morphosyntax, and mean length of utterance.
