Language disorders in a sample of scholastic and adult aged patients (>6 years)

Abstract

We have studied all the patientes treated in the Logopaedic Department of the Valladolid University during 1994,1995 and 1996 with age more than 6 years old, what we could call school age and adult age. The results are refered to the following parameters: sex, age, ambience, family antecedents, treatment duration, patient position in the family, relation age/language age. We have studied a total of 151 patients and the more frequent patologies are dyslexias and dyslalias. All the patologies, except for the dyslexia , are more frequent in males and, in the school age, the patient is the younger of the family.
