The aim of this work was to study the frequency of speech disorders in Israeli Arab children and its association with parental consanguinity. A questionnaire was sent to the parents of 1,495 Arab children attending kindergarten and the first two grades of the seven primary schools in the town of Taibe. Eight-six percent (1,282 parents) responded. The answers to the questionnaire revealed that 25% of the children reportedly had a speech and language disorder. Of the children identified by their parents as having a speech disorder, 44 were selected randomly for examination by a speech specialist. The disorders noted in this subgroup included errors in articulation (48.0%), poor language (18%), poor voice quality (15.9%); stuttering (13.6%), and other problems (4.5%). Rates of affected children of consanguineous and non-consanguineous marriages were 31% and 22.4%, respectively (p < 0.01). We conclude that speech disorders are an important problem among Israeli Arab schoolchildren. More comprehensive programs are needed to facilitate diagnosis and treatment.
这项工作的目的是研究以色列阿拉伯儿童言语障碍的发生率及其与父母近亲结婚的关系。向泰贝镇七所小学幼儿园及一、二年级的1495名阿拉伯儿童的家长发放了问卷。86%（1282名家长）进行了回复。问卷答案显示，据报告25%的儿童存在言语和语言障碍。在被家长认定有言语障碍的儿童中，随机挑选了44名接受言语专家检查。该亚组中发现的障碍包括发音错误（48.0%）、语言能力差（18%）、音质差（15.9%）、口吃（13.6%）以及其他问题（4.5%）。近亲结婚和非近亲结婚的受影响儿童比例分别为31%和22.4%（p<0.01）。我们得出结论，言语障碍是以色列阿拉伯学童中的一个重要问题。需要更全面的项目来促进诊断和治疗。
