EVALUATION OF THE RECEPTIVE PROCESS IN CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY: AUDITORY AND LINGUISTIC ASPECTS

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the reception process in children with cerebral palsy as to auditory and linguistic aspects. Method: 67 individuals with cerebral palsy, without auditory complaint, of both genders and ranging in age from 7 to 16 years and 11 months old underwent audiological and receptive linguistic process evaluation. Results: 51% of the spastic quadriplegic, 22% of the spastic diplegic, 6% of the spastic hemiplegic and 39% of the quadriplegic athetoid individuals demonstrated hearing loss of slight and moderate degrees and of a preponderantly descending configuration. Also, only the spastic quadriplegic group presented a severe degree. As to analysis of the receptive inventory, the quadriplegics were the ones that presented the worst performance, followed by the other groups with statistically equivalent performances. Among the etiological factors of cerebral palsy, many can also be included in hearing loss etiology in these individuals
