66-467: Download coordinates as: Fig Tree Pocket is a riverside western suburb in the City of Brisbane , Queensland , Australia. In the 2021 census , Fig Tree Pocket had a population of 4,345 people. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is the oldest and largest koala sanctuary in the world. It is a tourist and education centre. The suburb is located on a river pocket along the northern bank of Brisbane River . It

132-523: A 'disorder' was a topic of debate among the CATALISE consortium, but the conclusion was that 'disorder' conveyed the serious nature and potential consequences of persistent language deficits. It is also parallel with other neurodevelopmental conditions and consistent with diagnostic frameworks such as the DSM-5 and ICD-11 . Where there are milder or more transient difficulties, 'language difficulties' may be

198-569: A more appropriate term. DLD can affect a range of areas of language and the degree of impairment in different areas of language can vary from child to child. However, although there have been attempts to define different subtypes, these have not generally resulted in robust categories. The recommendation of the CATALISE panel was that the specific areas of impairment should be assessed and documented for individual children, while recognizing that different children might have different combinations of problems. The areas which can be affected are: Speech

264-777: A move towards standardizing terminology to address confusion and improve communication. The CATALISE Consortium, composed of experts, endorsed the term "developmental language disorder" in 2017, recognizing it as a subset of language disorder within the broader spectrum of speech, language, and communication needs. This shift aimed to clarify understanding, increase public awareness, and improve access to services for affected children. Previously, various terms like "developmental dysphasia" and "developmental aphasia" were used, causing confusion by implying similarities to adult language problems caused by brain damage. Similarly, "specific language impairment" (SLI), commonly used in North America,

330-464: A multilingual child to be diagnosed with DLD, they must be assessed in every language that they speak and show signs of DLD in each one. Current assessment practices for diagnosing DLD in multilingual children is inadequate. "Lack of knowledge about bilingual children and their needs is largely responsible for current referral and assessment practices." SLPs do not speak every language and are unable to properly assess many children for language disorders as

396-429: A poorer prognosis, so a diagnosis of DLD with speech sound disorder is then appropriate. DLD often co-occurs with other, milder neurodevelopmental disorders of unknown origin, such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder , developmental dyslexia or developmental coordination disorder . These do not preclude a diagnosis of DLD, but should be noted as co-occurring conditions. It is generally accepted that DLD

462-718: A process to formally define their boundaries and to gazette them, which is almost complete. In March 2006, only South Australia and the Northern Territory had not completed this process. The CGNA's Gazetteer of Australia recognises two types of locality: bounded and unbounded. Bounded localities include towns, villages, populated places, local government towns and unpopulated town sites, while unbounded localities include place names, road corners and bends, corners, meteorological stations, ocean place names and surfing spots. Sometimes, both localities and suburbs are referred to collectively as "address localities". In

528-419: A range of features: e.g., the grammatical complexity of the child's utterances, whether the child introduces characters to their story or jumps right in, whether the events follow a logical order, and whether the narrative includes a main idea or theme and supporting details. There is, however, a large gap in assessment of developmental language disorder, specifically in bilingual and multilingual children. For

594-774: A record for the highest price achieved after the natural disaster. In the 2016 census , Fig Tree Pocket had a population of 4,045 people, 49.9% female and 50.1% male. The median age of the Fig Tree Pocket population was 40 years of age, three years above the Australian median. 66.8% of people living in Fig Tree Pocket were born in Australia, which is very close to the national average of 66.7%. The other top responses for country of birth were England 6.2%, South Africa 4.0%, New Zealand 3.0%, United States of America 1.3%, and India 1.3%. 84.3% of people speak only English at home;

660-645: A result. The best practices for assessing multilingual children involves a combination of approaches including but not limited to questionnaires, parent/guardian interviews, and direct assessment. Identifying Autism Spectrum Disorder can be broadened into three categories: sociability and empathy, imaginative play, and use of language. Sociability and Empathy: Search for limitations in the child's capacity to participate in social interactions, comprehend others' emotions, and deduce their viewpoints. Communicative Use of Language: Evaluate for challenges in utilizing language proficiently for communication. Imaginative Play: Assess

792-491: A terminological distinction is made so that these cases would be diagnosed as language disorder associated with the main diagnosis being specified: e.g. "language disorder associated with autism spectrum disorder." The reasoning behind these diagnostic distinctions is discussed further by Bishop (2017). Common signs at one year of age: At two years of age: At three years of age: At four years of age: At five years of age: Assessment will usually include an interview with

858-429: A young child, but longitudinal studies have shown that difficulties are less likely to resolve for children who have poor language comprehension, rather than difficulties confined to expressive language. In addition, children with isolated difficulties in just one of the areas noted under 'subtypes' tend to make better progress than those whose language is impaired in several areas. The third criterion specifies that DLD

924-585: Is a deficit in a specialised language-learning system. Other accounts emphasise deficits in specific aspects of learning and memory. It can be difficult to choose between theories because they do not always make distinctive predictions, and there is considerable heterogeneity among children with DLD. It has also been suggested that DLD may only arise when more than one underlying deficit is present. Research has also suggested that peer nominations reveal differences in social understanding between children with DLD and their typically developing peers, as evidenced by

990-412: Is a private primary and secondary (Preparatory to Year 12) school for boys and girls at 33 Cubberla Street ( 27°31′39″S 152°57′48″E  /  27.5274°S 152.9634°E  / -27.5274; 152.9634  ( The Glenleighden School ) ). It is operated by Language Disorder Australia and provides multi-disciplinary support for students with developmental language disorders . In 2022,

1056-759: Is a subject of considerable debate. In practice, even for those with specialist skills, it is not always easy to distinguish between phonological disorders and other types of speech production problem. Speech sound disorder is any problem with speech production arising from any cause. Speech sound disorders of unknown cause that are not accompanied by other language problems are a relatively common reason for young children to be referred to speech-language therapy (speech-language pathology). These often resolve by around 4–5 years of age with specialist intervention, and so would not meet criteria for DLD. Where such problems continue beyond five years of age, they are usually accompanied by problems in broader language domains and have

1122-465: Is affected. There is also evidence that scores on tests of nonverbal ability of children with DLD decrease over the course of development. DLD is associated with an elevated risk of social, emotional and mental health concerns. For instance, in a UK survey, 64% of a sample of 11-year-olds with DLD scored above a clinical threshold on a questionnaire for psychiatric difficulties, and 36% were regularly bullied, compared with 12% of comparison children. In

1188-524: Is at 708 Jesmond Road ( 27°31′57″S 152°58′04″E  /  27.5325°S 152.9678°E  / -27.5325; 152.9678  ( Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary ) ). It is the largest and oldest koala sanctuary in the world and operates as a tourist and education centre. Suburbs and localities (Australia) Suburbs and localities are the names of geographic subdivisions in Australia , used mainly for address purposes. The term locality

It is 13.1 kilometres (8.1 mi) by road south-west of the Brisbane CBD . Sherwood Reach is the reach of the Brisbane River to the east of the suburb ( 27°31′42″S 152°58′18″E  /  27.5283°S 152.9716°E  / -27.5283; 152.9716  ( Sherwood Reach ) ), while Mermaid Reach

1320-455: Is crucial to refer these children to the right services early on to ensure they receive effective treatment and support. Treatment is usually carried out by speech and language therapists/pathologists, who use a wide range of techniques to stimulate language learning. In the past, there was a vogue for drilling children in grammatical exercises, using imitation and elicitation, but such methods fell into disuse when it became apparent that there

1386-812: Is down to a specific treatment. There is, however, increasing evidence that direct 1:1 intervention with an SLT/P can be effective for improving vocabulary and expressive language. There have been few studies of interventions that target receptive language, though some positive outcomes have been reported. Longitudinal studies indicate that problems are largely resolved by five years of age in around 40% of four-year-olds with early language delays who have no other presenting risk factors. However, for children who still have significant language difficulties at school entry, reading problems are common, even for children who receive specialist help, and educational attainments are typically poor. Poor outcomes are most common in cases where comprehension as well as expressive language

1452-510: Is no evidence that they respond differently to intervention, or have different causal factors, from other children with language problems. In the UK education system, the term "speech, language and communication needs" is widely used, but this is far broader than DLD, and includes children with speech, language and social communication difficulties arising from a wide range of causes. The question of whether to refer to children's language problems as

1518-484: Is not usually caused by a mutation in FOXP2 or another specific gene. Current evidence suggests that there are many different genes that can influence language learning, and DLD results when a child inherits a particularly detrimental combination of risk factors, each of which may have only a small effect. Nevertheless, study of the mode of action of the FOXP2 gene has helped identify other common genetic variants involved in

In unincorporated areas , localities are declared by the relevant state authority. Developmental language disorder The field of developmental language disorders (DLD) has evolved significantly in recent years, with

1650-464: Is strongly influenced by genetic factors. The best evidence comes from the twin study method. Two twins growing up together are exposed to the same home environment, yet may differ radically in their language skills. Such different outcomes are, however, much more common in fraternal (non-identical) twins, who are genetically different. Identical twins share the same genes and tend to be much more similar in language ability. There can be some variation in

1716-615: Is the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals (CELF) . Assessments that can be completed by a parent or teacher can be useful to identify children who may require more in-depth evaluation. The Children’s Communication Checklist (CCC–2) is a parent questionnaire suitable for assessing everyday use of language in children aged four years and above who can speak in sentences. Informal assessments, such as language samples, are often used by speech-language therapists/pathologists to complement formal testing and give an indication of

1782-484: Is the act of articulating sounds, and this can be impaired for all kinds of reasons – a structural problem such as cleft lip and cleft palate , a neurological problem affecting motor control of the speech apparatus dysarthria , or inability to perceive distinctions between sounds because of hearing loss . Some distortions of speech sounds, such as a lisp , are commonly seen in young children. These misarticulations should not be confused with language problems, which involve

He named Mermaid Reach after HM Colonial Cutter Mermaid , which brought his exploration party to Moreton Bay. The suburb takes its name from the Moreton Bay fig trees ( Ficus macrophylla ). In 1866, one particular fig tree in

1914-416: Is used for children whose language disorder is not part of another biomedical condition, such as a genetic syndrome, a sensorineural hearing loss, neurological disease, autism spectrum disorder or intellectual disability – these were termed 'differentiating conditions' by the CATALISE panel. Language disorders occurring with these conditions need to be assessed and children offered appropriate intervention, but

1980-400: Is used in rural areas, while the term suburb is used in urban areas. Australian postcodes closely align with the boundaries of localities and suburbs. This Australian usage of the term "suburb" differs from common American and British usage, where it typically means a smaller, frequently separate residential community outside, but close to, a larger city. The Australian usage is closer to

2046-631: The 2021 census , Fig Tree Pocket had a population of 4,345 people. Fig Tree Pocket State School is a government primary (Preparatory to Year 6) school for boys and girls at Cubberla Street ( 27°31′37″S 152°57′56″E  /  27.5269°S 152.9656°E  / -27.5269; 152.9656  ( Fig Tree Pocket State School ) ). As at the August 2023 census the school had an enrolment of 506 students, with 39 teachers (31.5 full-time equivalent) and 24 non-teaching staff (13.2 full-time equivalent).

2112-509: The prevalence of DLD in five-year-olds at around 7%. Recently, an Australian population based study demonstrated comparable prevalence of DLD amongst 10 year-old children. Therefore, the prevalence is about one in every 15 children. By these statistics, in a classroom of 30 students, 2 would have DLD. In research by Tomblin et al., prevalence of DLD in racial/ethnic groups was highest in Native Americans, with African Americans being

2178-840: The American or British use of "district" or "neighbourhood", and can be used to refer to any portion of a city. Unlike the use in British or American English, this term can include inner-city, outer-metropolitan and industrial areas. Localities existed in the past as informal units, but in 1996 the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping and the Committee for Geographical Names in Australasia (CGNA) decided to name and establish official boundaries for all localities and suburbs. There has subsequently been

2244-482: The DLD men had normal intelligence with higher performance IQ than verbal IQ. The participants still exhibited a severe and persisting language disorder, severe literacy impairments, and significant deficits in theory of mind and phonological processing. Within the DLD cohort , higher childhood intelligence and language were associated with superior cognitive and language ability at final adult outcome. In their mid-thirties,

2310-482: The ability to select and combine linguistic elements to express meanings, and the ability to comprehend meanings. Although speech disorders can be distinguished from language disorders, they can also co-occur. When a child fails to produce distinctions between speech sounds for no obvious reason, this is typically regarded as a language problem affecting the learning of phonological contrasts. The classification of and terminology for disorders of speech sound production

2376-577: The anxiety related to speaking in particular situations. Compared to those with social phobia alone, children with selective mutism exhibit higher levels of social anxiety and internalizing symptoms. Some children with selective mutism may also have minor difficulties with speech and language, which may not be as obvious in kids with social phobia who mainly show social anxiety without significant language problems. Kids with selective mutism can improve with specific interventions that focus on both their anxiety and any speech and language challenges they may have. It

2442-455: The area was photographed and described as able to shelter 400 people. In 1866, a reserve of 1.6 hectares (4.0 acres) was created around the fig tree. The tree no longer exists but the circumstances of its disappearance are not known. Fig Tree Pocket State School opened on 4 September 1871. A post office opened in 1878. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was established in 1927 by Claude Reid with two koalas called Jack and Jill. It takes its name from

2508-480: The benefits of a collaborative approach is emerging, but the benefits of asking education staff to be the main deliverers of SLT intervention (the "consultative" approach) are unclear. In this field, randomized controlled trial methodology has not been widely used, and this makes it difficult to assess clinical efficacy with confidence. Children's language will tend to improve over time, and without controlled studies, it can be hard to know how much of observed change

2574-458: The boundaries of DLD, and the existence of different subtypes. Historically, the terms "developmental dysphasia" or "developmental aphasia" were used to describe children with the clinical picture of DLD. These terms have, however, largely been abandoned, as they suggest parallels with adult-acquired aphasia . This is misleading, as DLD is not caused by brain damage . Although the term DLD has been used for many years, it has been less common than

2640-421: The brains of children with DLD versus typically developing children are subtle and may overlap with atypical patterns seen in other neurodevelopmental disorders. DLD is defined purely in behavioural terms: there is no biological test. There are three points that need to be met for a diagnosis of DLD: For research and epidemiological purposes, specific cutoffs on language assessments have been used to document

2706-526: The child's caregiver, observation of the child in an unstructured setting, a hearing test, and standardized tests of language. There is a wide range of language assessments in English. Some are restricted for use by experts in speech-language pathology : speech and language therapists (SaLTs/SLTs) in the UK, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in the US and Australia.

2772-529: The child's language in a more naturalistic context. A language sample may be of a conversation or narrative retell. In a narrative language sample, an adult may tell the child a story using a wordless picture book (e.g. Frog Where Are You?, Mayer, 1969 ), then ask the child to use the pictures and tell the story back. Language samples can be transcribed using computer software such as the Systematic Analysis of Language Software , and then analyzed for

2838-465: The children what areas are being targeted and giving explanations regarding the rules and structures they are learning, often with visual supports. In addition, there has been a move away from a focus solely on grammar and phonology toward interventions that develop children's social use of language, often working in small groups that may include typically developing as well as language-impaired peers. Another way in contemporary remediation differ from

2904-689: The child’s capability to participate in inventive and imaginative play. Sensory Responses: Observe any uncommon or modified reactions to sensory stimuli. Children with Speech-Language Impairment (SLI) have a higher likelihood of ASD compared to the general population. It is essential to conduct a detailed developmental history and a specific evaluation for autism characteristics. Use screening tools to help detect ASD. Verbal Children with Autism can be classified as follows: Impaired: They experience significant challenges with using language. Borderline: They have language abilities but with some impairments. Normal: Their language use falls within typical ranges, considering

2970-797: The context of autism. Selective Mutism is an anxiety disorder where individuals are unable to speak in certain social situations despite being capable of speaking in other environments. This disorder is strongly linked to social anxiety. Children who have selective mutism do not speak in certain social situations, such as at school or with peers, but can speak normally in other contexts, like at home with their family. These children generally have good comprehension of language and can understand conversations and instructions, but they struggle to communicate verbally in specific scenarios. Research demonstrates that these children are capable of speaking normally or nearly normally in some settings, which emphasizes that their challenge lies not in their ability to speak, but in

3036-612: The control of their articulatory movements. Children with DLD have difficulty with motor sequence learning and may show deficits in other procedural motor processes as well. Brain scans do not usually reveal any obvious abnormalities in children with DLD, although quantitative comparisons have found differences in brain size or relative proportions of white or grey matter in specific regions. In some cases, unusual brain gyri are found. To date, no consistent 'neural signature' for DLD has been found, although some studies have noted evidence for involvement of subcortical systems. Differences in

3102-491: The first criterion. Tomblin et al. proposed the EpiSLI criterion, based on five composite scores representing performance in three domains of language (vocabulary, grammar, and narration) and two modalities (comprehension and production). Children scoring in the lowest 10% on two or more composite scores are identified as having language disorder. The second criterion, persistence of language problems, can be difficult to judge in

3168-438: The first instance, decisions about the names and boundaries of suburbs and localities are made by the local council in which they are located based on criteria such as community recognition. Local council decisions are, however, subject to approval by the state's geographical names board. The boundaries of some suburbs and localities overlap two or more local government areas (LGAs). Examples of this are Adamstown Heights , which

3234-579: The large hoop pine that is beside the ticket entrance. The Glenleighden School opened on 1 February 1979. Brisbane Montessori School opened in 1982. In early 2009, one luxury property sold for A$ 9.5 million and another sold for A$ 7.15 million. The suburb was one of those in Brisbane which were affected during the 2010–11 Queensland floods . Following the floods, a riverfront estate sold for $ 8.25 million at Ningana Street in May 2014 which set

3300-457: The link. Children with DLD often grow up into adults who have relatively low educational attainments, and their children may share a genetic risk for language disorder. One non-genetic factor that is known to have a specific impact on language development is being a younger sibling in a large family. It has long been noted that males are more affected by DLD than females, with a sex ratio of affected males-to-females around 3 or 4:1. However,

3366-414: The longer-term, studies of adult outcomes of children with DLD have found elevated rates of unemployment, social isolation and psychiatric disorder among those with early comprehension difficulties. However, better outcomes are found for children who have milder difficulties and do not require special educational provision. Epidemiological studies of children in the US and the UK converge in estimating

3432-470: The next highest, followed by Hispanic people, and then White people. No students of Asian descent presented with DLD; however, other research does indicate that DLD is present in children of Asian descent. Much research has focused on trying to identify what makes language learning difficult for some children. A major divide is between theories that attribute the difficulties to a low-level problem with auditory temporal processing, and those that propose there

3498-465: The next most popular languages were Mandarin 1.7%, German 0.9%, Afrikaans 0.8%, Spanish 0.7%, and Hindi 0.7%. 47.5% of people aged 15 years and over in Fig Tree Pocket had completed a bachelor's degree or higher, which is significantly more than the national 22.0%. "No Religion" was the top response for religious affiliation, with 31.5% of the population. Catholic and Anglican were the next highest religious affiliations with 22.2% and 15.6% respectively. In

3630-406: The past is that parents are more likely to be directly involved, but this approach is largely used with preschool children, rather than those whose problems persist into school age. For school-aged children, teachers are increasingly involved in intervention, either in collaboration with speech and language therapists/pathologists, or as the main agents of delivery of the intervention. Evidence for

3696-419: The same neural pathways that may play a part in causing DLD. Language disorders are associated with aspects of home environment, and it is often assumed that this is a causal link, with poor language stimulation leading to weak language skills. Twin studies, however, show that two children in the same home environment can have very different language outcomes, suggesting we should consider other explanations for

3762-441: The school had an enrolment of 126 students with 23 teachers (18 full-time equivalent) and 40 non-teaching staff (30.4 full-time equivalent). Brisbane Montessori School is a private primary and secondary (Preparatory to Year 10) school for boys and girls at Mactier Street ( 27°31′57″S 152°57′40″E  /  27.5324°S 152.9612°E  / -27.5324; 152.9612  ( Brisbane Montessori School ) ). In 2022,

Fig Tree Pocket is also serviced by two privately run early childhood centres, the Gan Gani kindergarten as well as the Fig Tree Pocket Early Childhood Centre. There are no government secondary schools in Fig Tree Pocket. The nearest are Kenmore State High School in neighbouring Kenmore to

3894-530: The severity and persistence of DLD in identical twins, indicating that non-genetic factors affect the course of disorder, but it is unusual to find a child with DLD who has an identical twin with typical language. There was considerable excitement when a large, multigenerational family with a high rate of DLD were found to have a mutation of the FOXP2 gene just in the affected family members. However, subsequent studies have found that, though DLD runs in families, it

3960-503: The sex difference is much less striking in epidemiological samples, suggesting that similar problems may exist in females but are less likely to be detected. The reason for the sex difference is not well understood. Poor motor skills are commonly found in children with DLD. Standardized measures of motor ability confirm that children with DLD exhibit deficits in fine and gross motor skill , both simple and complex. These difficulties also extend to speech-motor ability, particularly with

4026-443: The tendency for children with DLD to receive more positive peer nominations, and the discrepancies in their friendship acknowledgments collectively suggest that the ability to comprehend others and identify peers as friends may significantly impact social connections. Relatively little research has been conducted to test the outcomes of DLD in adults. In a study comparing 17 men with DLD to siblings without DLD, researchers found that

4092-410: The term specific language impairment (SLI), which has been widely adopted, especially in North America. The definition of SLI overlaps with DLD, but was rejected by the CATALISE panel because it was seen as overly restrictive in implying that the child had relatively pure problems with language in the absence of any other impairments. Children with such selective problems are relatively rare, and there

4158-523: The unequal distribution of peer acknowledgments. Research on peer and friendship acknowledgments offers insight into the relationship between language development and peer interactions. Children with DLD experience lower levels of acceptance, particularly during the early school years, as indicated by peer nominations. Improvement in peer acknowledgments may not be solely attributed to language and communication interventions, suggesting that other factors influence friendships. Findings from social cognition tasks,

4224-411: Was considered too narrow as it only focused on language issues without considering other potential difficulties children may face. The term developmental language disorder (DLD) was endorsed in a consensus study involving a panel of experts (CATALISE Consortium) in 2017. The study was conducted in response to concerns that a wide range of terminology was used in this area, with the consequence that there

4290-440: Was little generalization to everyday situations. Contemporary approaches to enhancing development of language structure, for younger children at least, are more likely to adopt 'milieu' methods, in which the intervention is interwoven into natural episodes of communication, and the therapist builds on the child's utterances, rather than dictating what will be talked about. Interventions for older children, may be more explicit, telling

4356-502: Was poor communication, lack of public recognition, and in some cases children were denied access to services. Developmental language disorder is a subset of language disorder , which is itself a subset of the broader category of speech, language and communication needs. The terminology for children's language disorders has been extremely wide-ranging and confusing, with many labels that have overlapping but not necessarily identical meanings. In part this confusion reflected uncertainty about
