Listening Comprehension by Nonblind Handicapped Students at Three Rates of Speed.
DeWeaver, Mary J.
Exceptional Children, v46 n3 p202-08 Nov 1979
Forty-eight physically handicapped students in grades 1 through 6 were compared on the basis of their comprehension of talking book materials played at three rates. An analysis of covariance with repeated measures found a significant difference in favor of expanded speed over compressed speed; but neither resulted in comprehension significantly different from that at normal speed.
