فاعلية برنامج تدريبي في علاج اضطرابات النطق لدى الأطفال المعاقين فكريا القابلين للتعلم

Abstract EN

The purpose of this study is to identify the effectiveness of an intervention program in treating speech disorders among educable mentally retarded children in Jordan.

The sample consisted of (20) children ; males and females with mild mental retardation aging (5-8) years.

Participants were assigned to two equal groups : experimental (N = 10, M = 5, F = 5) and control (N = 10, M = 5, F = 5).

A training (remedial) program for treating speech disorders among mentally retarded children and a speech disorder identification scale were designed.

Results showed statistically significant differences between the experimental and control group members in favor of the experimental group, that can be attributed to program implementation.

Results, also, indicated no significant differences that can be attributed to gender.

Recommendations are cited as of the collaborative use of such intervention programs.
