This paper reports on follow-up psychiatric, linguistic, and educational evaluations of 300 communication impaired children who had been initially evaluated approximately 5 years previously when they presented at a speech and language clinic. The aim of the study was to determine what changes occurred in the children and to isolate factors associated with these changes. Despite improvements in some areas, significant increases in prevalence were found at follow-up for disorders of language usage and processing, psychiatric disorders, and developmental disorders. The development of psychiatric disorder at follow-up was associated with particular linguistic diagnoses as well as learning disorders and psychosocial stress.
