TYPICAL PATTERN OF THE KAUFMAN-ASSESSMENT BATTERY IN CHILDREN WITH DEVELOPMENTAL LANGUAGE DISORDER

In this study we used the Kaufman-Assessment Battery for children (K-A BC), which assumes a dichotomy of sequential versus simultaneous proce ssing of intelligence, in order to describe the typical pattern of pro cessing in 25 children with normal nonverbal intelligence and developm ental language disorder (DLD) of the phonologic-syntactic subtype, a m ixed receptive-expressive DLD with grammatical and phonologic deficits , The results of the K-ABC showed a significant deficit in auditory se quential processing, whereas simultaneous processing was normally perf ormed.
