Özet
The effect of congenital left hemisphere deficit on speech and language skills remains unclear. The aim of this study was to describe the speech and language skills of a case with left hemisphere atrophy in the prenatal period. 4-year eight-month-old boy case’s receptive and expressive language skills were analysed by Turkish Early Language Development Test (TEDIL) and language sampling analysis, oral-motor skills by oral motor assessment, and speech intelligibility by Intelligibility in Context Scale-Turkish (ICS-TR). It was found that the case’s receptive language skills were below average, expressive language skills were weak, mean length of utterance (MLU) in words 1.08, MLU in morphemes 1.31, the family-reported score on the ICS-TR was 2.71 (maximum 5) and oral-motor skills were normal. The results of this study support that speech and language disorders may be observed in children with congenital left hemisphere deficit in the prenatal period.
