School-aged children with phonologic disorders: coexistence with other speech/language disorders.

Subjects in grades 1-12 with phonologic disorders were identified and categorized into either Residual or Delayed groups. Group selection was based on a subject rating system of communicative defectiveness and number and type of phonologic errors. The subjects' performance was compared with that of normal individuals on a number of speech and language parameters. The results indicated that voice disorders, deficits in expressive language, and hearing problems occurred in persons exhibiting phonologic disorders with a higher frequency than in the normal individuals.

Preliminary investigation of EMG biofeedback induced relaxation with a preschool aged stutterer.

A 4 1/2-yr.-old stutterer was run on a series of comparative speech tasks and EMG recording periods to assess the potential of using EMG biofeedback-assisted relaxation to reduce stuttering. The basic finding was that the subject was able to reduce the level of tension in the laryngeal area by using EMG biofeedback but not without some difficulty. The effect of EMG biofeedback training on his frequency of stuttering was small but in the direction of less stuttering.

A communicative interaction analysis system for language-disordered children.

Nine language-disordered children were videotaped in counterbalanced dyads (pairs) during a directed play session. A communicative analysis system was used in which communicative interactions were scored for each dyad, then classified as either successful or unsuccessful. Subject dyads varied considerably in both interaction measures. More importantly, some subjects appeared to facilitate communicative interactions while others seemed to impede interactions. The percent of successful interactions correlated with three of four receptive and expressive language measures obtained, whereas number of interactions did not correlate significantly with any ot these measures. The results suggest that communicative interaction analysis is a reliable and potentially useful procedure to aid in understanding language-disordered children.
