Abstract

This chapter presents the role of support networks for children and adolescents with language developmental problems. Support networks include family, school environment, community, and interpersonal relationships as well as digital networks. These networks can provide the necessary tools to children and adolescents with language developmental problems in order to overcome their problems and to be duly incorporated to the society. The assets provided to children and adolescents by the above-mentioned networks can be divided into two categories: external and internal. External assets include family support, empowerment, and proper set of boundaries and expectations. On the other hand, internal assets include proper motivation and school engagement, adaptation of positive values, evolution of social competences, and creation of a positive identity.
