Behavioral problems of Mandarin-speaking late-talking toddlers and preschool aged children: A prospective case–control study in Taiwan

This study aimed to examine whether Mandarin-speaking late-talking (LT) toddlers have a higher incidence of behavioral problems than typical language developing (TLD) children in toddlerhood and at preschool age from a community sample in Taiwan. This prospective case–control study comprised 32 LT a...

description This study aimed to examine whether Mandarin-speaking late-talking (LT) toddlers have a higher incidence of behavioral problems than typical language developing (TLD) children in toddlerhood and at preschool age from a community sample in Taiwan. This prospective case–control study comprised 32 LT and 32 TLD toddlers. Participants’ parents provided reports about their children at 2 and 4 years using the Child Behaviors Checklist, a component of the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment. The results indicated that compared to the TLD group, a higher percentage of the LT group was at risk of behavioral problems at both two and four years. Similarly, the chance of internalizing problems was higher in the LT group than the TLD group at both ages. The findings indicated that LT toddlers are at risk for behavioral problems not only in toddlerhood, but also at preschool age. Thus, it is crucial to identify LT toddlers with behavioral problems and enroll them in early developmental evaluation programs in their communities and also include them in early intervention programs if necessary. In addition, the underlying mechanism of the association between language delay and behavioral problems in children needs to be longitudinally explored from a young age.
