I am working with a young researcher in Pakistan who is doing a study of 150 disabled (deaf and hard of hearing) students in a government special school. She is trying to asses the degree to which these students' exposure to discrimination and violence accounts for their problematic behavior. Apparently, deafness and hearing loss are viewed as genetic problems and the severe discrimination exercised against these children is not counted. She is at a university that does not have much of a library, much less access to academic journals, so I am trying to help her with references and readings. Any suggestions -- especially copies of articles! -- would be deeply appreciated.
Your colleague may find the following papers helpful:

The relationship between language development and behaviour problems in children with hearing loss. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 51(1), 77–83. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2009.02124.x/full

Language development is of course of utmost importance for all children.
These references regarding the identified nature of ADHD and language development may possibly be of help
