Orienting Reflex Disturbances In Central Auditory Or Language Handicapped Children

Abstract
The onset time of orienting reflex disturbances in 36 children with congenital pathology in the nervous system suggests that in a significant proportion these disturbances emerge as late as the 3d or 4th year of life. Early detection therefore, may prevent deterioration of sound awareness by methods ranging from simple educational techniques to laboratory procedures for facilitating dis-inhibition.
