ABSTRACT

Students of child psychology, parents, teachers and clinicians, are increasingly interested to know what is happening when a child fails to develop speech at the usual time. Workers with speech-handicapped children recognize the fact that a child is often doubly unfortunate, not only because he possesses a speech peculiarity which sets him somewhat apart from the group, but also because the possession of such a difficulty tends to breed a much more serious concomitant—that of a warped, unsocial or peculiar personality.
