Description:
<jats:p xml:lang="en">There were 14 students with good speech and hearing discrimination selected from the class entering NTID in 1979, and a matched control group was selected from data on 1978 students. The experimental group was taught half of each week by a speech pathologist and an audiologist and the other half by an English specialist. The control group was taught by the English specialist using the same highly-structured course materials. The experimental group made significantly greater gains in reading comprehension than the control group.</jats:p>
