Abstract

Jezik je kljuĉna prekretnica u razvoju djece, ali postoji iznimka - djeca s specifiĉnim jeziĉnim poteškoćama pokazuju znaĉajan nedostatak jeziĉnih sposobnosti koji nije povezan s oštećenjima sluha, intelekta ili neurološkim teškoćama. Postoje dvije suprotstavljene teorije koje pokušavaju objasniti temeljna oštećenja kod specifiĉnih jeziĉnih poteškoća. Jedna teorija se fokusira na jeziĉne aspekte specifiĉnih jeziĉnih poteškoća, posebno specifiĉne gramatiĉke strukture koje mogu biti pogoĊene. Druga teorija objašnjava teškoće kod specifiĉnih jeziĉnih poteškoća kao kognitivna i perceptivna ograniĉenja koja utjeĉu na uĉenje jezika.
Istraživanja su se uglavnom usredotoĉila na osobe s poremećajem iz spektra autizma (PSA) koje imaju jeziĉne sposobnosti primjerene dobi, dok su osobe s PSA-om i jeziĉnim poteškoćama manje istražene. Postoje istraživanja koja ukazuju na sliĉnosti u jeziĉnom oštećenju kod osoba s PSA-om i osobama sa specifiĉnim jeziĉnim poteškoćama, implicirajući zajedniĉku etiologiju. MeĊutim, druga istraživanja tvrde da su sliĉnosti samo površne i ne odražavaju nužno zajedniĉke uzroke na kognitivnoj, neurobiološkoj ili etiološkoj razini.
Važno je razumjeti jeziĉne i kognitivne profile koji leže u osnovi jeziĉnih oštećenja kod PSA-a i SJP-a. Iako postoji preklapanje u jeziĉnom profilu, moguće je da su osnovni uzroci razliĉiti. Obrazovanje igra kljuĉnu ulogu u pružanju podrške djeci s PSA-om i SJP-om, a struĉno usavršavanje u podruĉju terapije i metoda rada s tim djecom kljuĉno je za poboljšanje kvalitete njihovog života i obrazovanja.

Abstract (english)

Language is a crucial milestone in children's development, but there is an exception - children with specific language impairments show a significant deficit in language abilities that is not related to hearing impairments, intellectual disabilities, or neurological difficulties. There are two opposing theories attempting to explain the underlying impairments in specific language impairments. One theory focuses on the linguistic aspects of specific language impairments, particularly specific grammatical structures that may be affected. The other theory explains difficulties in specific language impairments as cognitive and perceptual limitations that impact language learning.
Research has mostly focused on individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who have age-appropriate language abilities, while individuals with ASD and language impairments have been less explored. There are studies indicating similarities in language impairment between individuals with ASD and those with specific language impairments, implying a common etiology. However, other research argues that the similarities are superficial and do not necessarily reflect shared causes at a cognitive, neurobiological, or etiological level.
Understanding the language and cognitive profiles underlying language impairments in ASD and specific language impairments is important. Although there is overlap in the language profile, it is possible that the underlying causes are different. Education plays a crucial role in providing support to children with ASD and specific language impairments, and professional training in therapy and working methods with these children is essential for improving the quality of their lives and education.
