Innovative and effective assessment and intervention materials for language disorders are acutely needed in special education and bilingual education. This paper describes how microcomputer courseware can be developed to provide interactive receptive language testing and training materials for the bilingual, language-handicapped child. A description of a prototype program which has been used to both test and train language impaired children is provided.

The study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of a training program to develop the skills of expressive language and receptivity and social interaction among a sample of students with learning disabilities in Ajloun schools. The study sample consisted of (20) students with difficulties from the sixth grade who were deliberately selected from Ajloun Elementary School for Boys. To an experimental and control group, the researcher applied the two tools before and after the control and experimental groups. The results of the study showed that there are statistically significant differences on all dimensions of expressive and receptive language skills and social interaction skills in the pre and post measurements in the performance of students with learning disabilities in the experimental and control groups attributed to the training program used in the study, for the benefit of students with learning disabilities in the experimental group. I learned expressive language skills, receptivity and social interaction through the program sessions. The study reached a number of recommendations and research proposals, most notably: the preparation of other therapeutic language programs targeting all types of language disorders in primary school students, and provide planners, infectious and implementers of learning disabilities programs with language and social skills and appropriate educational activities. Conduct .studies highlighting other age groups among students with language disorders

ABSTRACT Autistic savant as one of the language disorders can be found in daily life and it also can be portrayed in literary works and films. An autistic savant is a person with autism who has the limitation in most social functions but has cognitive abilities, such as possessing some outstanding memories and computational skills. This research aims to find out the types of language disorder and to find out the dominant type of language disorders found in autistic savant portrayed in Levinson’s Rain Man film. This research used a descriptive method. The data used in this research were the utterances of an autistic savant. The result of this research shows that the type of expressive language disorder was obtained with the occurrence percentage of 67.7% while the receptive language disorder type was obtained by the occurrence percentage of 32.3%. From this percentage, it can be seen that the most dominant type of language disorders experienced by autistic savant in Rain Man film is expressive language disorder. It means the autistic savant as an adult person also has difficulty in expressing or producing language. Key words: language disorder, autistic savant, expressive language disorder, receptive language disorder

Background Impairments in language and related socialcommunication skills can be found in children with pervasivedevelopmental disorders (POD) and other developmentallanguage disorders (non-POD). These conditions lead to decisionof enrolling children with language disorders to speech therapydespite that it is not the therapy of choice for POD.Objectives To explore the differences in receptive language, verbal expressive language, and non-verbal expressive language between PDD and non-POD childrenMethods A cross sectional study was performed in October2008 to January 2009. Questionnaire using the MacArthurcommunicative development inventory (CDI) was filled byparents whose children were PDD and non-PDD patients aged 1to 3 years old. The diagnosis ofPDD was based on the diagnosticand statistical manual IV.Results A total of 42 PDD and 42 non-POD subjects wereevaluated. There was significant difference between PDD and nonPOD in receptive language [P= 0.01 (95% CI -170.63 to -24.33)in 12 to 24 month-old subjects and P< 0.01 (95% CI -158.28to -92.99) in > 24 to 36 month-old subjects] and non-verbalexpressive language [P= 0.01 (95% CI -20.96 to -1.96) in 12 to24 month-old subjects and P< 0.01 (95% CI -22.65 to -10.5) in> 24 to 36 month-old subjects]. Verbal expressive language wasnot significantly different between POD and non-POD childrenage 1 to 3 year-old.Conclusions PDD children are more likely to have a delay inreceptive language and non-verbal expressive language compare to non-POD children. Verbal expressive language can not be used to differentiate POD and non-POD children.
