The purpose was to determine whether comprehension of a spoken message by children with specific learning disabilities is affected by altering the rate at which the message is presented. The subjects were 20 children between 5 and 17 years of age who demonstrated a disability in comprehending spoke n messages but whose auditory sensitivity was within normal limits. The stimuli were 50 simple declarative sentences presented at five predetermined message rates. The rates included two conditions of expansion, a normal rate, and two conditions of compression. The results indicate that rate did not influence comprehension when the data from all subjects were pooled; however, analysis of data from the 10 youngest children revealed significant differences in comprehension according to rate of speech.
