Auditory - Visual Integration in Language - Delayed Children

Abstract

Twelve language-delayed children with nonspecific etiologies were matched with children having normal language development for age, sex, and IQ. Measurement of auditory-visual integrative ability, visual-motor integrative ability, and perception of distorted speech revealed the two groups to be significantly different in the auditory-visual component and perception of distorted speech, but not in visual-motor integrative ability.
