Article Abstract
The effects of the variables age at onset,cause,severity and bilaterality of lesion,and type of aphasia on course and outcome were investigated in a group of 28 aphasic children.Analysis of spontaneous speech and tests of auditory verbal comprehension were used to determine the presence of aphasia.The severity of the cerebral lesion was assessed using a rating scale for computed tomographic scans.Most of the children had not recovered completely 1 year after onset.Recovery was significantly different according to etiological categories.Complete recovery was seen in the majority of traumatic cases.
