The mean age for the TD group was 9.67 ± 0.82 and for the SLD group was 9.5 ± 0.5. Basic Activities of Daily Living (B-ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) were assessed using the Modified Barthel questionnaire and the Lawton scale, respectively. Executive function was evaluated using the Parent Form of Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) questionnaire. Pearson correlations were utilized to determine the correlation between the average score of \"executive function\" and \"daily life activities\". Results indicated that children with SLD scored significantly lower in EFs compared to TD children. Although there was no significant difference in B-ADL between the two groups, children with SLD scored lower in IADL. This study sheds light on the impact of EF on the ability of children with SLD to complete daily living activities. Further research is needed to better understand and address these challenges.","PeriodicalId":8047,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology: Child","volume":" ","pages":"100-106"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50156884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five instruments are aimed at early detection of signs of Autistic Spectrum Disorder. The implementation of Bruner's model of communicative functions was found on 15% of the instruments.

A cross-battery assessment of neuropsychological functions is conducted, and social communication is evaluated using the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS).Results: The neuropsychological profile for the ASD group differs from the DLD group, with the former demonstrating higher scores on Visual Processing and Comprehension, whereas the DLD group scores higher on Fluid Reasoning, Visual Processing and Processing Speed. Correlation analysis reveals that the association between neuropsychological domains and social communication differs between the groups.Discussion: Children with ASD and DLD clearly have distinctive neuropsychological profiles-their strengths and weaknesses are not equivalent.

Previously audiotaped language samples of 25 monolingual 5-7 years-old Persian children with DLD and 25 TD children were transcribed and reanalyzed to calculate MLU in words (MLU-w) and PDSS for comparison with the results of PEGT.Results: Children with DLD had lower scores in PEGT, PDSS, and MLU-w than TD children (p < 0.001).
