Articulation disorders that inhibit the communicative ability in children can be classified into three types. In the past, we have done much work in dysarthria and organic articulation disorders. Now we begin to explore the treatment of functional articulation disorders. In this paper, we described 10 patients between four to ten years old with functional articulation disorders and approached from different angles. We have positive answers in definition, diagnose standard and treatment procedure. We also find that the cure effect is very good, 9 of 10 patients have regained normal communlcative ability after speech therapy of one to three months.We hope to do much more work in the etiology and incidence of functional articulation disorders of children in China in the future.

Incidence of childhood is very low.6 cases of childhood aphasia were analysised in the pa- per.It show that some speech symptoms and theraputic prediction of childhood aphasia are quite different from those of adult aphasia.Because most of them are preschool children,they can not be evaluated with adult aphasia test.

The Chinese Standard Aphasia Examination was made according to Chinese language and cultural habits by referring to Japanese Standard Language Test of Aphasia.151 normal people and patients whose brain damaged without aphasia were tested.Mean and standard deviations were calculated.The significant differences were not found by analysis of variance to age,sex,handedness,profession and education except oral instruction and describing pictures in different educational groups.Therefore,the examination is suitable for Chinese aphasics who live in different parts of China and spoken mandarin.
