Pojava znakovne eholalije kod gluve dece sa autizmom

Abstract

Eholalija je relativno čest simptom poremećaja iz spektra autizma. Ispoljava se kao trenutno ili odloženo ponavljanje tuđih reči i najčešće se dovodi u vezu sa nedovoljno razvijenom sposobnošću receptivnog govora. Isto tako je u znakovnom jeziku gluve dece s poremećajem iz spektra autizma zabeležena pojava tzv. znakovne eholalije. Cilj ovog članka je da se prezentuju sve studije u kojima je znakovna eholalija detektovana kod barem jednog gluvog ispitanika s poremećajem iz spektra autizma. Dosadašnja istraživanja pokazuju da je učestalost znakovne eholalije kod gluve dece slična učestalosti verbalne eholalije kod čujuće dece sa autizmom. Jedina razlika odnosi se na vremensko preklapanje znakova koje produkuje odrasla gluva osoba i ehoičnog znaka gluvog deteta sa autizmom.

Echolalia is relatively common symptom of autism spectrum disorder. It is manifested as immediate or delayed repetition of another person’s words and is most often related to underdeveloped receptive speech. Likewise, the phenomenon of so-called sign echolalia was detected in the sign language of deaf children on the autism spectrum. The objective of this paper was to present all the studies in which sign echolalia was detected in at least one deaf person with autism spectrum disorder. Research study shows that the frequency of sign echolalia in deaf children is similar to the frequency of verbal echolalia of hearing children with autism. The only difference relates to the temporal overlap of the signs produced by a deaf adult and echoic sign of a deaf child.
