[Language comprehension disorders in non-verbal children with autism spectrum disorders and their implications in the family quality of life].

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Language widely varies in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Evidence, however, suggests that these children understand language worse than their peers with typical development, showing a delay in acquisition of receptive vocabulary. Research relating quality of life (QOL) and language is limited. AIMS:To increase our knowledge about structural aspects of language in children with ASD, and to determine the effects of deficits in understanding in children with ASD in their families' QOL. SUBJECTS AND METHODS:We analyzed language comprehension in 26 non-verbal children with ASD (mean: 9.8 years) and 26 children with typical development (mean: 3.9 years) matched for age vocabulary, using standardized measures of receptive language. RESULTS:We found that levels of receptive vocabulary, auditory comprehension, and grammar comprehension in children with ASD are lower than typical levels for their age, and significantly differ from those in children with typical development. Parents of children with ASD also report severe communication problems in their children and lack of social support. Family QOL is influenced by language problems of children with ASD. CONCLUSIONS:There is a significant relationship between receptive language skills in children with ASD and perceptions of QOL in their families. These results can have important implications for designing clinical interventions. TITLE:Dificultades de comprension del lenguaje en niños no verbales con trastornos del espectro autista y sus implicaciones en la calidad de vida familiar. :Introduccion. El nivel de comprension del lenguaje en niños con trastornos del espectro autista (TEA) varia ampliamente. Sin embargo, la evidencia sugiere que estos niños comprenden el lenguaje peor que los de su misma edad con desarrollo tipico, y muestran retraso en el vocabulario receptivo. La investigacion que relaciona calidad de vida y lenguaje es muy escasa. Objetivos. Profundizar en la comprension de aspectos estructurales del lenguaje en niños con TEA y conocer la influencia de los deficits en comprension del lenguaje en niños con TEA en las percepciones sobre calidad de vida en sus familias. Sujetos y metodos. Analizamos la comprension verbal en 26 niños no verbales con TEA (media: 9,8 años) y en 26 niños con desarrollo tipico (media: 3,9 años) igualados en edad de vocabulario, utilizando medidas estandarizadas de lenguaje receptivo. Resultados. Hemos comprobado que el nivel de vocabulario receptivo, comprension auditiva y comprension gramatical en los niños con TEA esta por debajo del que corresponde a su edad, y difiere significativamente de aquel en niños con desarrollo tipico. Asimismo, los padres de niños con TEA informan de graves problemas de comunicacion en sus hijos y falta de apoyo social. La calidad de vida familiar se ve afectada por los problemas linguisticos de los niños con TEA. Conclusiones. Encontramos una importante relacion entre las habilidades de lenguaje receptivo en los niños con TEA y las percepciones sobre la calidad de vida en sus familias. Estos resultados pueden tener importantes implicaciones en el diseño de intervenciones clinicas.
