Javorsky, J. (1996) performed a study with 96 children to examine the language abilities of children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, a language learning disorder, children with both disorders, and typical developmental children. The study was based on participants that were hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital and were between the ages of 6 and 17 years old. The research was conducted using several tests, which lasted approximately two to four hours, usually between two to three sessions. Each test was used to determine …show more content…
The study also concludes how children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder also may have language difficulties, however they may be disregarded due to their attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. This article gave a better perspective on how having these disorders can impact an individual’s academic success.

Johnson, C. et al. (1999) conducted a research study on the outcomes of 103 children, aged 5-20 years old who were diagnosed with a speech and language impairment throughout a 14-year longitudinal study. The research was conducted by ten speech-language pathologists who presented the participants with several assessments to determine the communicative, cognitive, academic, behavioral, and psychiatric developments throughout the years and the how the impairment had an impact on their lives. The study concluded that compared to children with only a speech impairment, children with language disorders had higher language delays, lower academic and professional success, and lower cognitive …show more content…
(2015), conducted a study containing 57 children, aged 7 to 9 years old, who were previously diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The study examined whether or not the previous diagnosis affected language abilities. The researchers divided the participants into three groups: children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and a language disorder, children with only a language disorder, and typical developmental children. Each child was screened and diagnosed with each disorder by a speech-language pathologist and a psychologist, then presented with a test that lasted approximately 2.5-3 hours and between two to three appointments. The study concluded that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder had a very low impact on the language abilities. When compared to children with only a language disorder, children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder scored
