Abstract

Specific language disorders include primary speech and language disorder developing in intelligent children without hearing damaged and visible neural damage. Even the fact of grammatical-syntactically deficits as cha­ra­cte­ris­tic of specific language disorders, they are not properly examined. Because of numerous varia­tions in clinical manifestation and expressi­on of specific language disorders, there is need for specific analysis of grammatical-syntactically deficits in children who had diagnoses of speech - language disorders. The aim of study was to analyse the grammatical-syntactically deficits in children who had diagnoses of speech - language disorders according to non- specific EEG changes. Material and methods: The entire sample included 30 patients from the Institute for Psycho - Physiological and Speech Disor­ders “Professor dr. Cvetko Brajovic”. The sample was divided in the two groups by the findings of neurologists. The tests used for spe­c­ific lan­gu­a­ge disorders were: test decrypting of pic­tu­re. The results were processed by methods of des­criptive statistics. Results: Based on the descriptive statistical analysis, it was shown that there are differences in the grammatical-syntactic deficits examined groups. Conclusion:Assessment of the grammatical-syntactically abilities compa­red to non-specific EEG changes may have practical importance in specifying of the speech - language disorders and their prognosis.
