Otitis Media in Young Children with Disabilities.
Zeisel, Susan A.; Roberts, Joanne E.
Infants and Young Children, v16 n2 p106-19 Apr-Jun 2003
This study examined the prevalence of otitis media with effusion (OME) in 14 children (ages 8-66 months) with developmental disabilities attending center-based childcare. Although younger children had more OME than older children, children with Down syndrome had the highest incidence of OME regardless of age. Implications of OME for fluctuating hearing loss and language acquisition are discussed. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
