| Research Abstract |
Characteristics of language and communication development were examined among typically developing children and developmentally disordered children both raised in multicultural multilingual environments by assessing vocabulary comprehension and grammatical comprehension in both Japanese and English. Children's parents were asked to fill out a questionaire to examine children's linguistic environment. There was a tendency that vocabulary comprehension was affected by impartial knowledge and experience due to cultural difference both among typically developing children and developmentally disordered children. As for grammatical comprehension, relatively normal developmental patterns were observed among typically developing children while atypical developmental patterns were recognized among developmentally disordered children.
In addition, it was recognized that family support system takes an important role in order to provide better support for the children.
