'Tasting' May Help Children Speak
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa—(UPI)
—Talk by "tasting" may help handicapped children speak normally.
Eugene T. McDonald, research professor of the speech and hearing clinic of the Pennsylvania State University, is advancing oral stereognosis, the identification of shapes in the mouth. These tests are being given to cerebral palsy victims and "normal" children.
PENN STATE scientists are exploring the theory that articulation is controlled by patterns of sensations arising from sound, touch and feeling of movement.
He wrote that crippling conditions such as cerebral palsy can impair the ability of sensation.
this fall (Stanwix House, Inc.), explains that "defective sensation and perception in the oral cavity (mouth) is very likely an important cause of poor speech."
For the tongue-testing, McDonald uses three-dimensional plastic stars, triangles, half-moons and circles smaller than a dime. The designs also include other familiar shapes such as a ball, a square, a doughnut, a cross and a horseshoe.
A sterilized form, attached on a short piece of wire to prevent swallowing, is placed in the child's mouth without allowing the child to see it. The child is then asked to identify the form from the way it feels on his tongue.
placed on a black cloth before the child. McDonald or one of his graduate students selects one of the originals at random.
McDonald's book, to be published
Under a grant by the National Institutes of Health, McDonald will study groups of "normal" children of several grade levels in Pennsylvania public schools to determine their abilities for identifying the plastic "tongue-testing" forms.
