Identification of hearing-impaired children with the additional language-learning difficulty of dyspraxia, defined by Van Uden(1981, 1983), is explored. Results from 12 diagnostic sublets obtained by Van Uden's sample of profoundly deaf children and a Manchester sample with wider ranges of age and hearing loss were analysed by the Q-technique of fatter analysis. Comparison of Q profiles revealed a dyspraxic/eupraxic profile for Van Uden's sample, but a linguistic/non-linguistic profile for the Manchester Sample. Two Manchester children who fulfilled the specified criteria and showed the dyspraxic profile had no known additional language-learning difficulties. Usefulness of the Q-technique for the profile analysis of hearing-unpaired children is discussed, and comparisons made with the results from cluster analyses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
