Intervening with children with emotional and behavioral disorders is a real challenge for educators and professionals. While most professionals tend to focus on the different ways to help these students achieve educational and social success; they seem to overlook their communication and language difficulties that may contribute to the challenges they face regarding social integration and learning. While recent studies have shown an actual link between language, communication skills and behavior; more specifically, that social communication skills would be particularly related to children’s behavioral and emotional profile; few have explored the impact an intervention on social communication has on a child’s behavior. This literature review offers a critical point of view of the studies that examine the theoretical relationships between these concepts and will show the importance of exploring social communication interventions with children with emotional and behavioral disorders.
