What is a Social Pragmatic Language Disorder? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Social Pragmatic Language Disorder is a breakdown of the inherent understanding of underlying thoughts, beliefs, intentions, and emotional states of others. Social pragmatics is a domain of language that relates to one\u2019s ability to think about and interact with others within and across social situations. This goes deeper than rote teaching of \u201csocial skills\u201d or \u201csocial norms\u201d because social situations and expectations are not black-and-white (i.e. you would speak to your friend differently than you would speak to your teacher or boss). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assessment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pragmatics is assessed via a combination of parent report, teacher report (if available), and clinical observation. Some standardized assessment materials are available for support. A social pragmatic language disorder is diagnosed when a child\u2019s social skills development is markedly behind that of their age-matched peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Training for skills to improve metacognition (i.e., thinking about thinking), executive functions (e.g., planning, organizing, initiating, following-through), social thinking, and self-regulation provides the foundation for individuals to apply functional social behaviors across environments. Intermittent peer group activities or camps may be available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
