Statement of the Problem Language is a central feature of social interaction. Children
with linguistic-pragmatic deficits are likely to have social skills deficits as well. Specific language impairment (SLI) would be of obvious concern in regard to the difficulties that children encounter
in interacting with peers, parents, and others in their lives (Conti-Ramsden and Botting, 2004). Specific language impairment can result from physiological problems such as deafness as well as from
sociological problems such as abuse. Both the degree of language impairment and the degree of social impairment can be measured using standardized tests. The purpose of this paper
is to present a research design that will allow a more thorough examination of the relationship that exists between SLI and problems in social and behavioral development.
Literature Review Conti-Ramsden and Botting (2004) have found that SLI children
experience numerous difficulties in social and behavioral development. While this relationship has been suspected to be correlated with factors such as frustration, peer rejection, and poor self esteem
which result from SLI, Conti-Ramsden and Botting (2004) and other researchers have become increasingly concerned that these problems do not appear to be resolved even after appropriate intervention and resolution
of SLI has occurred. Qi and Kaiser (2003, 188) report that problem behavior among preschool children can relate to language functioning as well as to child specific characteristics such
as "social skills, attachment status, cognitive ability, gender"; to parent-specific characteristics such as "harsh discipline, mothers stress, depression, absent father"; and to "sociodemographic risk factors (education, number of children, income)
