This study examines language abilities of children with attention-deficit e

a
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and compares these abilities to those of
n
children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typically developing d
children. Executive functioning, an umbrella term for various higher order e
x
cognitive processes, and responsible for goal-directed behaviour, is also
e
examined. Moreover, the study explores the possibility that executive c
u
dysfunctioning may be specifically linked to pragmatic language problems. UITNODIGING

The results of this study showed that children with ADHD differed in e

pragmatic language production in comparison with typically developing

language domain. With respect to executive functioning, children with ADHD c

performed worse than both other groups on the measure for inhibition. i

However, no differences between the three groups were reported for the n

measures of working memory, planning, cognitive flexibility and non-verbal i

fluency. Significant correlations between executive functioning and pragmatic g in children with ADHD

We made an agreement
from which millions of agreements grew

someone pointed at a stone and said stone
someone chopped down a tree and said wood

agreements soon covered the world
constantly branching and spreading
cocooning us in a world of agreements

someone pointed at the fire and said fire
someone roasted an animal and said meat

the agreements covered the world
branching and spreading, cocooning
us in a world of agreements

someone pointed at the stars and said
I will never leave you.
