學前兒童語言發展量表之臨床應用

Abstract

Preschool Language Scale (1979) was revised for use under the title of Preschool Language Scale-Chinese Version (PLS-C) in 1986. During the past three years, PLS-C has been used at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital to appraise children's language development, to evaluate their maturational lags. strengths and deficiencies. This report is to discuss the clinical use of PLS-C. and six different types of cases who have received long-term speech-language intervention are reported.It has been found that PLS-C is clinically useful for each type of speech-language delayed children. The PLS-C results are good measures of children's progress. The PLS-C results of pure articulation disordered children always show higher auditory comprehension scores but lower verbal ability scores (p＜.01).Some limitations of PLS-C are also discussed.
