Application of sensory integration training and Beckman mouth muscle training in children with language delay
Objective To explore the application of sensory integration training and Beckman mouth muscle training in children with language delay.Methods A total of 120 children with language delay who were admitted to Nanjing Tongren Hospital and Southeast University Affiliated Zhongda Hospital from March 2018 to March 2023 were selected as research objects.They were divided into control group and observation group according to a random number table,with 60 cases in each group.The control group received Beckman mouth muscle training,and the observation group received sensory integration training and Beckman mouth muscle training.The Gesell Developmental Schedule(Gesell)scores,sign-significant relation(S-S)scores,and Beckman mouth motor assessment scale scores were compared between the two groups before and after training.Results The scores of major motor activity,individual social behavior,language,adaptive behavior,and gross and fine motor activity were increased after training in both groups,and these scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05).The DQ values of language comprehension,language expression,and operational capacity were increased after training in both groups,and these values in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05).The tongue,cheek and lip movement scores were increased after training in both groups,and these scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Sensory integration training and Beckman mouth muscle training can effectively improve language development and mouth motor function,and promote language comprehension,language expression,and operational capacity in children with language delay.
