摘要

本研究係探究兩組非語文智商正常，但均有語言溝通發展障礙的5－7歲幼童，在語文智商及社會適應能力上的差異。第一組幼童為25名高功能自閉症孩童，第二組幼童為25名混合型發展性語言障礙孩童，兩組孩童採逐一以非語言智商及年齡配對。結果顯示，兩組幼童在魏氏幼兒學前智力測驗語文智商及簡式文蘭適應行為量表的所得均明顯低於族群之正常值，但無組別間差異。從本研究結果可推論現階段臺灣在學齡前及低年級針對語言發展障礙孩童所提供的醫療及教育介入，應不論孩童是否有自閉症之診斷，均須要針對社交功能障礙設計更多的療育方案。

Verbal cognitive profile and general social functioning were compared between two groups of children aged 5 to 7 years, one with high-function autism and the other with developmental mixed receptive-expressive language disorders. The two groups, totaling 50 children, were matched for age and non-verbal IQ (mean, 90). Both groups had impaired verbal cognitive profile and social adaptive functioning, with no statistically significant differences between the two groups. The implications of our findings are discussed. Current preschool and early childhood medical-educational intervention programs in Taiwan must design and implement curricula in which children with language delay, whether autistic or not, can develop essential social skills.
