Effectiveness of Morphosyntactic Treatment on Production in two Children with Hearing Impairment Older than 3 Years
,
Abstract
Background: Because hearing loss can lead to linguistic and especially morphosyntactic delay, creating a method for fostering and facilitating morphosyntactic development seems rational. So auditory based (Sayeh Tahbaz Hoseynzadeh) STH-method has been designed. The aim of this article is studying effectiveness of this treatment.
Materials and methods: Two hearing impaired children which used hearing aids, with moderately-severe and severe hearing loss and older than 3 years of age at the time of study, enrolled in STH-method for 24 weeks. Persian Developmental Sentence Scoring (PDSS) was used for analyzing language samples together with some formal and informal assessments which were performed with 12 weeks intervals.
Results: According to PDSS which was used for analyzing spontaneous language samples, score of participant1 changed from 0 to 10.6 and participant2 improved from 5 to 7.4 at final assessment.
Conclusion: The findings showed that STH-method helped to improve morphosyntactic skills of participants.
