The Impact of Speech Therapy Combined with Audiovisual Integration Rehabilitation Training on the Intelligence and Language Recovery of Children with Global Developmental Delay

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the impact of speech therapy combined with audiovisual integration rehabilitation training on the intelligence and language recovery of children with global developmental delay. Methods: A total of 60 children with global developmental delay treated in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the research subjects. The children were divided into two groups according to the intervention method: the control group (n=30) and the study group (n=30). The control group received speech therapy intervention, while the study group received speech therapy combined with audiovisual integration rehabilitation training. The intelligence, language, quality of life, developmental quotient changes and family satisfaction of the children in both groups were compared before and after the intervention. Results: After the intervention, the CDCC, GDS, and PedsQL scores of the children in the study group were higher than those in the control group. The developmental quotient scores of language ability, adaptability, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and personal social behavior were also higher in the study group than in the control group. The overall satisfaction rate of the children's families was 96.67% in the study group, which was higher than the 86.67% in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Speech therapy combined with audiovisual integration rehabilitation training can promote the intelligence and language recovery of children with global developmental delay, improve their quality of life, developmental quotient and family satisfaction.
