Objective

2

To explore the effects of therapeutic games combine with Auditory Integration Training (AIT) on children with language retardation.

Methods

2

from January 2020 to October 2022

116 children with language retardation were randomly selected in our hospital and divided into the observation group (n=59) and the control group (n=57) by the random number table method. The observation group received therapeutic games combined with AIT

while the control group only received AIT. The concentration changes of peripheral blood neurotrophic factor [Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/ Nerve growth factor (NGF)] before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Before and after the intervention

Verbal Behavior Assessment Scale (Ver-BAS)

Gesell developmental diagnostic scale (GESELL) and Simple oral motion scale were respectively assessed on language function and Developmental quotient (DQ) and changes in oral motor ability.

Results

2

There was no difference in the general data between the two groups (

P

>

0.05). After intervention

the Ver-BAS scale scores of 3 factors (communicative language/receptive language/descriptive language) in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (

P

<

0.05). GESELL's assessment showed that the fine motor/gross motor/adaptive behavior/language/personal social DQ scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group after intervention (

P

<

0.05). Compared with oral motor function

tongue

jaw and lip motor function scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (

P

<

0.05). After intervention

the concentration of BDNF and NGF in the observation group were higher than that in the control group (

P

<

0.05).

Conclusions

2

Therapeutic games combined with AIT can significantly promote the effect of speech therapy on children with speech retardation

and it is worth promoting and using in clinic.
