Speech and Language Skills in Children with Early Treated Phenylketonuria.

Ozanne, Anne E.; And Others

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v94 n6 p625-32 May 1990

The study of 29 children, age 7 months to 16 years, with early treated phenylketonuria found no significant differences on speech and/or language measures when compared with controls matched for age, sex, and socioeconomic level. Examination of individual scores, however, did reveal linguistic impairment in a small number of subjects. (Author/JDD)
