简介:目的考察3-6岁听障儿童语言功能发展的特点。方法利用《听障儿童语言功能评估》对202例3-6岁听障儿童进行跟踪评估,分别在基线期、6个月后、12个月后进行测试;对3次评估结果进行比较,分析不同年龄组之间的差异,并将听障儿童评估分数与健听儿童参考值对比。结果听障儿童的各项语言功能随时间推移极显著提高(P=0.000〈0.01);听障儿童年龄越大,语言功能越强,年龄组之间存在显著差异(P〈0.05);所有年龄段听障儿童基线评估得分均低于3岁健听儿童期望值,康复12个月后,3、4岁听障儿童达到同龄健听儿童期望值,5、6岁听障儿童和同龄健听儿童仍有差距。结论听障儿童的语言功能和健听儿童存在差距,但经过康复可有较大提升,且干预年龄越小,提升速度越快。
