Outcomes of Severe Disorders of Language Acquisition.

Paul, Rhea; Cohen, Donald J.

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v14 n4 p405-21 Dec 1984

Data on speech, language, performance IQ, school placement, and behavior are presented on 18 subjects diagnosed in childhood as "aphasic" and followed through adolescence. Results revealed slow but steady growth in language with expressive skills showing more rapid progress than comprehension. Performance IQ was highly correlated with language skills. (Author/CL)
