Peer Perceptions of Normal and Dysarthric Children.

Ruscello, Dennis M.; And Others

Journal of Childhood Communication Disorders, v14 n2 p177-86 1992

This study compared the perceptions of 20 normal peers of the nonspeech characteristics of 8 dysarthric (with cerebral palsy) and 8 normal-speaking children (ages 6-11). Results indicated that the normal speakers were judged much more positively than the dysarthric speakers. Implications for the mainstreaming of children with dysarthric speech are drawn. (DB)
