Zusammenfassung

Spezifische Sprachentwicklungsstörungen (SSES) betreffen per definitionem nur den Erwerb linguistischer Kompetenzen, ohne dass verursachende Faktoren wie mangelnde sprachliche Anregung, Hörstörungen und allgemeine Entwicklungsstörungen erkennbar sind. Mittlerweile zeichnet sich aber ab, dass bei diesen Kindern auch andere Defizite feststellbar sind. Hierzu gehört z. B. die gestörte Fähigkeit zum Symbolspiel. In der vorliegenden Übersichtsarbeit wird zunächst der normale Erwerb des Spielverhaltens bei Kindern dargestellt. Anschließend wird der Test Child-Initiated Pretend Play Assessment (ChIPPA) vorgestellt. Mit diesem Test kann man objektiv und standardisiert Hinweise gewinnen, ob das Symbolspiel eines Kindes altersgemäß ist oder nicht. SSES-Kinder mit defizitärem Spielverhalten sollten grundsätzlich eine strukturierte Einzeltherapie erhalten.

Abstract

Children with specific language impairment (SLI) are confronted with limitations in their language abilities that cannot be attributed to cognition, hearing impairments, or neurological deficits. However, there is evidence that children with SLI also have impairments. These include, for example, an impaired ability to pretend play. The current article aims to present firstly normal development of play behavior in children, followed by the Child-Initiated Pretend Play Assessment (ChIPPA). This test enables an objective and standardized assessment of whether a child’s ability to initiate and sustain pretend play is age-appropriate. SLI children with impaired play behavior should receive structured individual therapy.
