Abstract
The specific purposes of this study were to survey and to determine the number and prevalence of communicative disorders in a metropolitan, minority-based, comprehensive health-care facility. The rationales were developed from the limited and/or lack of accurate data on medical facilities, language disorders, and preschool children. The methodology included surveying the records for children referred Jor speech-language and audiological evaluations during the five-year calendar period 1973 through 1977. The results revealed that 3,827 children were seen for evaluation; of this number 38' 5% were diagnosed with communicative disorders.
