The Sequenced Inventory of Communication Development (SICD), which was designed for remedial programming of children with language disorders, mental retardation, and specific language problems, was given to 13 cerebral palsied preschoolers along with the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test. Time and environmental constraints required considerabLe modifications of the SICD, and the expressive section of the test was shortened. Among the findings were a significant difference between receptive and expressive language scores, not found with normal children; and wide discrepancies between both computed language ages and chronological ages.
