Objective To investigate the rehabilitation efficacy of Beckman oral-motor training combined with auditory integration training (AIT) in children with language development delay.
Methods A total of 118 children diagnosed with language development delay were enrolled in this study, and randomly assigned to auditory training group or combined training group, with 59 cases in each group. Children in the auditory training group received AIT, while those in the combined training group underwent Beckman oral-motor training combined with AIT. The clinical efficacy, intellectual development, language ability, oral motor function, articulation ability, and serum neurotrophic factor levels of the two groups were observed and compared.
Results After treatment, the overall effective rate in the combined training group was 93.22%(55/59), which was significantly higher than 79.66%(47/59) in the auditory training group, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). Following treatment, the scores of intellectual development, language ability, oral motor function, and articulation ability, as well as the serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) in both groups were elevated compared to the pre-treatment levels. Moreover, these parameters in the combined training group were superior to those in the auditory training group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).
Conclusion Beckman oral-motor training combined with AIT can enhance the rehabilitation outcome in children with language development delay, improving their speech function, intellectual development, oral motor function, articulation ability, and serum neurotrophic factor levels.
