The Results of Analysed Developmental Test in Deaf Children

Abstract

The authors applied Enjoji's analysed developmental test to deaf children with speech disorders and obtained a developmental graph of W-type which was characteristic of deeper notch in speech development than in mental development. Physical, emotional and social developments did not retard.
The authors think that this method can be utilized as a help to differential diagnosis by holding precisely the combination of disorders beyond deafness from the deformation of those developmental graphs and give a useful mean to the judgement of effects of therapeutic steps for deaf children by recognizing the changes in developmental graphs recorded at a regular interval.
