SOCIAL COMMUNICATION DISORDER: A New Diagnosis in the DSM-5 Blair Schanzmeyer, BS, Ashleigh O. Boyd, MHS, CCC-SLP Department of Communication Science and Disorders, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO Introduction Rationale for SCD The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), released in May 2013, revised criteria for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and added a separate diagnosis of social (pragmatic) communication disorder (SCD). The diagnosis for SCD was added to the DSM-5 to more accurately and consistently recognize individuals with significant deficits in verbal and nonverbal communication, to provide diagnostic coverage for children who exhibit deficits in social communication but do not have restricted, repetitive behaviors or interests, and to reduce variability between individuals who are diagnosed with ASD. SCD Diagnostic Criteria Deficits in the social use of verbal and nonverbal communication as manifested by all of the following: Area of Difficulty: Examples: Using communication for social purposes · Greeting and sharing information, in a way that is appropriate for the social context Changing communication to match context or the needs of the listener · Speaking differently in a classroom than on a playground · Talking differently to a child than to an adult · Avoiding use of overly formal language Following rules for conversation and storytelling · Taking turns in conversation · Rephrasing when misunderstood · Using verbal and nonverbal signals to regulate interaction SCD or ASD? In order for SCD to be diagnosed, restricted, repetitive behaviors or interests which are included in diagnostic criteria for ASD must be ruled out. Understanding what is · Making inferences not explicitly stated and · Understanding idioms, humor, metaphors nonliteral or ambiguous · Interpreting multiple meanings that require meaning of language using context for understanding Deficits result in functional limitations in effective communication, social participation, social relationships, academic achievement, and/or occupational performance Symptoms present in early developmental period Symptoms are not better accounted for by another mental disorder and are not due to a general medical or neurological condition, or to low abilities in the domains of word structure and grammar, and are not better explained by autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, or global developmental delay Does the child demonstrate deficits in social communication and social interaction? Yes Behavior: Examples: Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements, use of objects, or speech · Simple motor stereotypes · Lining up toys or flipping objects · Echolalia · Idiosyncratic phrases Insistence on sameness, inflexible adherence to routines or ritualized patterns of verbal or nonverbal behavior · Extreme distress at small changes · Difficulties with transitions · Rigid thinking patterns · Greeting rituals Highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus · Strong attachment to or preoccupation with unusual objects · Excessively circumscribed or perseverative interests Hyper– or hyporeactivity to · Apparent indifference to pain/temperature sensory input or unusual · Adverse response to interests in sensory aspects specific sounds or textures of the environment · Excessive smelling or touching of objects · Visual fascination of lights or movement Does the child display at least 2 of 4 restricted, repetitive behaviors? consider ASD diagnosis consider SCD diagnosis The SLP’s Role in SCD It is within the scope of practice of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to diagnose communication disorders. SLPs typically make diagnoses of SCD and ASD as members of teams, however; SLPs can make a diagnosis of SCD independently if they have the necessary knowledge and experience in communication disorders. SLPs involved in the diagnosis of SCD should be specifically educated and appropriately trained in this area. Daily Facebook Assessment A comprehensive assessment of language skills as well as social communication skills is necessary to make an appropriate SCD diagnosis. The following chart provides examples of types of assessments that can be used to evaluate social communication skills : Type of Assessment Description Standardized Empirically developed evaluation Assessment tool with established reliability and validity Test of Language Competence (Wiig & Secord) -ages 5:0-18:0 Naturalistic Observation of child in everyday Observing the child in the Observations social settings with other individuals classroom Arranging the observation room with toys/peers to mimic real world events SCD Intervention The overall goal of SCD intervention is to improve social interactions, not to teach specific behaviors or skills . Treatment should aim to improve social communication skills by addressing individual needs identified during assessment. The following chart provides examples of evidencebased interventions for improving social communication skills (it is not an exhaustive list). SCERTS Social communication (SC), emotional regulation (ER), and transactional support (TS), is a model of service provision that focuses on how to regulate emotions and communicate with others. Social Skills Groups Specific instruction, role-playing, and feedback are used to teach ways of interacting appropriately with typically developing peers. Social Scripts Scripted prompts (visual and/or verbal) are used to teach ways to appropriately use language during social interactions. These scripts are gradually faded as children use social language more spontaneously. Video Modeling It is estimated that one-third of children diagnosed with ASD under DSM-IV criteria will not be diagnosed with ASD under DSM-5 criteria; however, there are controversial findings as to what percentage of these children will meet criteria for a diagnosis of SCD. Retrospective studies have examined proportion of subjects who no longer met criteria for Posted ASD, butby didFans meet Year criteria “Likes” 1 for SCD according to 10/1/09criteria: – 9/30/10 DSM-5 4.2% (2/48) - Taheri & Perry, 2012 28% (5/18) - Mayes, Black, & Tierney, 2013 63% (12/19) - Wilson et al., 2013 Example Parent/Teacher Rating scales and/or checklists to Children’s Communication Report obtain a compressive profile of social Checklist-2 (Bishop) Measure communication skills -ages 4:0-16:11 Analog Task(s) Observation of child in simulated social situations DSM-IV vs. DSM-5 Criteria Video clips captured using a video camera are edited to show positive target behavior. Videos can show target behavior being completed by either typically developing peers or child (called video self-modeling). medcitynews.com Future Directions There is a need for prospective studies to examine the prevalence of individuals diagnosed with SCD according to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. Additionally, valid assessment tools should be established to improve the consistency of diagnosis. References American Psychiatric Association. (2013). Social (pragmatic) communication disorder.
