發展遲緩兒童之溝通行為與行為問題

The Communication Behaviors and Behavioral Problems in Children with Developmental Delay

隨著年齡的增長，兒童的溝通行為應逐漸發展為被社會認可，且能有效傳達意圖的語言溝通行為。然而，對於發展遲緩的兒童，這一過程可能會停滯，使得他們的溝通行為停留在不成熟階段，這種不適齡的表現常被誤認為行為問題。因此，針對這些兒童的行為，核心應放在溝通行為的調整，而非僅處理表面上的行為問題。 為了有效幫助發展遲緩兒童，首先需要釐清他們的行為問題是否與溝通行為的不成熟有關。本研究將深入探討行為問題與溝通行為之間的關聯性，期待藉由這些探究，以讓兒童的行為得以被有效詮釋及調整。

As children grow up, their communication behaviors are expected to gradually develop into socially accepted and effective means of conveying intentions through language. However, for children with developmental delays, this process may stagnate, leaving their communication behaviors at an immature stage. These age-inappropriate behaviors are often misinterpreted as behavioral problems. Therefore, for these children, the primary focus should be on adjusting communication behaviors, rather than merely addressing superficially behavioral problems. In order to effectively support children with developmental delays, it is crucial to first clarify whether their behavioral problems are related to immature communication behaviors. This study aims to explore the relationship between behavioral problems and communication behaviors, with the goal of providing a better understanding and adjustment of children's behaviors through these insights.
