title: Dimensions of behavior in children with speech andlanguage disorders.
abstract: The behavioral symptoms of a population of children with speech and language disorders (with a mean age of approximately 6 years) were studied with a teacher and a parent questionnaire. A factor analysis produced similar factors for both questionnaires: Hyperactivity-Conduct, Affect, and Language. An Asocial factor was also found with the teacher questionnaire. The factors of this study were in good agreement with the general factors of "Aggression" and "Withdrawal" found in other quantitative studies. Mean factor score profiles were reported for this unique population of children.
