The co-occurrence of psychiatric and communication disorders in children is considerable. Many children who are treated by mental health professionals are also in need of speech and language services. This article discusses comorbidity and outlines communication problems that accompany a variety of childhood psychiatric conditions. Empiric studies and clinical impressions of these co-occurring problems are described.
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is reviewed from the perspective of speech-language pathology, and various characteristics of the communicative process that co-occur with ADHD are presented. Incorporating Barkley's "inhibition model" with a systems theory approach and a functionality component, implications for service delivery and intervention are discussed. Five specific types of interventions are presented to encourage collaboration.
