DOI: 10.1177/026565900001600102 Psycholinguistic profiling of a hearing-impaired childMoor House School The speech and language processing abilities of a 10 year old with a severe hearing impairment and additional word retrieval difficulties are examined at a single word level using Stackhouse and Wells psycholinguistic framework. Performance on a variety of output tasks is compared and input processing is investigated in detail. Evidence is found for a breakdown in processing at several levels. The specific point of breakdown for individual contrasts is identified. It is shown to be possible and informative to use a psycholinguistic framework with a child with a hearing impairment to produce a detailed profile which could inform therapy decisions.
