摘要
Significant hearing loss was found in about two-thirds of a series of 107 individuals with Down's syndrome. Hearing loss of that degree causes retarda tion of speech, language and intellectual development in normal children. Down's children are presumably affected even more by this sensory depriva tion and without correction are prevented from reaching their full potential. © 1979, Sage Publications. All rights reserved.
