Oral motor patterns during feeding in severely physically disabled children.

Oral motor patterns during feeding were investigated in 58 patients with severe physical disability. Five patients showed a pattern resembling sucking. Twenty-nine exhibited an up-and-down movement of the jaw and protrusion of the tongue. Among these, the mouth opened when the food entered and the lips closed before swallowing in 20 patients; the mouth was constantly open in nine. Eight had an up-and-down movement of the jaw without protrusion of the tongue. These patterns were frequently seen in patients with spastic tetraplegia caused by neonatal asphyxia and compensated for oral motor impairment. Sixteen patients showed lateral movement of the jaw at some time during feeding; in these patients the texture of the food was more coarse than in those with other patterns.

A comparative factor analysis of the WISC-R by sex and age with learning disabled children.

WISC-R data were factor analyzed for a sample of 980 learning disabled subjects aged 9 through 14. Separate analyses were conducted for the total sample, males only, females only, and age-level groupings. The three-factor solution (Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Organization, and Freedom from Distractibility), previously identified in normal samples, was found to be appropriate for the learning disabled subjects in the present study for the total sample and the sex and age groupings. The Verbal Comprehension factor emerged as the most robust followed by Perceptual Organization and Freedom from Distractibility.

[Disabled children in the federal republic of Germany in 1974 (author's transl)].

Within the scope of an additional micro-census inquiry--carried out in 1974--the Federal Statistical Office in Wiesbaden assessed the number of physically, mentally and psychologically impaired children. The results are differentiated according to the types of disability and therapy, age, in-patient treatment and special school attendance. Furthermore, the estimated results are compared with earlier surveys of the Federal Statistical Office and other estimates.
