Abstract
This paper looks at the points raised in the preceding chapters, and considers their relevance to the sociolinguistic development of children with speech and language impariments. Children with speech and language impairments are often noted to have low self-esteem, and this in part might be explained by their inability to negotiate an identity for themselves through conversation and discussion with their peers. Speech and langugage impaired children also have problems in interpreting metaphor and idiom, and are frequently unable to appreciate the intended comparison, and thus the underlying meaning. Furthermore, they may lack the scripts necessary for them to be able to participate in drama and make-believe play, because they have been unable to take part in real life situations which would have taught them how to interact with others in different contexts. Ways in which adults working with such children might address these problems are suggested.
