The Moor House School remedial programme: an evaluation

Moor House School

Moor House School is a school for children of average nonverbal ability who have specific speech and language disorders. The educational careers of 120 children who left the school during the period 1979-1985 were investigated. The subjects were divided into four groups: Receptive Dysphasic (N = 12), Expressive Dysphasic (N = 21), Language Delay (N = 57), and Deviant Articulation (N = 30). Verbal ability at the time of entry to the school was compared with verbal ability when the remedial programme ended. The Receptive Dysphasic, Expressive Dysphasic, and Language Delay groups showed significant gains in verbal ability. The language development of the Deviant Articulation group was within normal limits at the time of entry and showed no significant gain. 35.8% of the children were able to return to mainstream education before reaching the statutory school-leaving age.
