    In order to get an overall view of children with delayed speech and language, a follow-up study was conducted by mail. A questionnaire was sent to each subject over 15 years old who had been diagnosed with delayed speech and language at Kinki University Hospital. The questionnaire contained inquiries as to educational history, language abil-ities and communication abilities. Answers collected from 53 persons were analyzed and the following results were found:
    1.Most children who were in“a special education”class during primary school entered a“special education”school after graduating from middle school.
    2.About 40% of the subjects could speak and listen without any difficulty.
    3.47% of the subjects could communicate with unfamiliar people without any difficulty.
    4.Language abilities and communication abilities had a close relationship except in cases of autistic people.
    5.Investigating the causes of speech and language delay can be helpful to make one's prognosis to some extent.

    According to a sampling survey conducted by the Chinese Government in 1987, it was presumed that at that time there were 1.71 million hearing-impaired children aged 0-14 years throughout china. In order to clarify the etiology of sensorineural hearing loss in children in China, we explored causes of hearing loss in 230 children with sensorineural hearing loss who visited the Rehabilitation Centres for Deaf Children in Beijing and Dalian as well as the Department of Otolaryngology, Dalian Medical University Hospital, during the period January 1992 July 1994. The results obtained were as follows:
    1.The average auditory threshold and standard deviation of hearing loss of the better ear in the 230 children were 99.54dB and 14.76dB, respectively.
    2. The etiology of hearing loss was unknown in 106 (approximately 46%) of the 230 children, while hearing loss in 95 (approximately 41%) was considered to be caused by ototoxic drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics.
    3. Results of these studies indicated that in order to establish a comprehensive program for prevention and early identification of hearing loss as well as early habilitative services for hearing-impaired children, cooperation between otolaryngologists and pediatricians in general hospitals is indispensable.

    The root of logopedics and phoniatrics may date back to the middle of 19th century. At that time, many scholars such as Helmholtz, Broca and Wernicke reported their important findings on hearing, laryngeal physiology and language disorders.
    In 1854, Garcia first observed living human larynx using a dental mirror. This was followed by Czermak, who applied this new technique to clinical diagnosis of laryngeal pathologies. In this era subspecialization of each existing speciality developed in medicine.
    From late 19th century to early 20th century, logopedics and phoniatrics developed gradually in European countries. Above all, Gutzmann in Berlin attracted many scientists to his specialized department.
    Later in 1911, Fröschels opened his logopedic and phoniatric clinic in the Department of Otolaryngology, University of Vienna. Based on his conference on the speech disorders, IALP (International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics) eventually storted in 1924.
    In Japan, it took a long time until the establishment of the Japan Society of Logopedics and Phoniatrics by Prof. Satta in 1956.

    During the last 30 years since the Japan Society of Logopedics and Phoniatrics was established in 1965, Japan has made a great progress both in economy and natural sciences, especially in high technology, which has brought a tremendous influence upon the development of the Japan Society of Logopedics and Phoniatrics.
    The progress of the Japan Society has been supported in part by the activities of its special committees, such as the committee for evaluation of vocal function, and of speech disorders. The reports from these committees contributed to the standardization of the met-hods of clinical examinations.
    Many important academic products have also, been reported by the members of the Japan Society. For example, several research works on the physiology of the larynx obtained Gould Awards or Garcia Prizes.
    In this paper, the activities of the Japan Society during the last 30 years were reviewed and the achievement in both research and clinical aspects was discussed.
