Abstract
To determine the efficiency of teachers with no known orientation in speech disorders in locating speech defective children in their classrooms, 3061 2d grade children representing 14 different counties were evaluated for speech both by teacher questionnaires and examinations by 2 trained speech clinicians. Comparison of the reports shows that teachers with no orientation can be expected to miss 2 out of every 5 children classified as defective by clinicians.Keywords
