Assessment and therapy in speech and language delay

Summary/Abstract: According to the literature, we are talking about a language delay when the child fails to reach the level oflanguage evolution, compared to his chronological age. In fact, we know that language development isclosely linked to cognitive development. Therefore, the structure of language is influenced by the degree ofcognitive development. Knowing that the language delay may exists as a secondary pathology in mostintellectual disabilities and can be recognized by the poverty of vocabulary, the inability to expressthemselves correctly in sentences or phrases, being reached phonetic, lexical and grammatical aspects, Iwanted to surprise in this study the features of language development in young children oriented towardsour school by proposing a complex, multidimensional approach to early assessment of language skills andcapturing the effect of a multidimensional intervention program that will ultimately lead to theconfiguration of functional communication skills. Children included in this study are enrolled in thekindergarten group or in the preparatory class, aged between 4 and 8 years. These children are alsodiagnosed with mild or moderate intellectual disability.The program took place in two stages. In the first stage, a multidimensional evaluation was performed, onall sides of the language by applying tests, scales or evaluation tests. The results obtained by the childrenwere interpreted and presented at the level of some case studies. In the second stage, we proposed anintervention program that aims to enrich and activate vocabulary, by applying the "50 word-list technique-T⁵⁰", training phonetic and phonological skills, those related to structural semantics and lexical semanticsand shaping morphological skills, which will lead to the configuration of a functional communication skillrelated to chronological and mental age.
