Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand in detail the development of infants in the 18-24-month period when language develops the most, and to prepare new standards for developmental evaluation that can promote appropriate intervention design at an early time. We divided sub-items such as screening tests and standardized test tools to know the language development ability indicators of infants aged 18-24 months were divided into syntax/phonology, meaning, and speech, and each question was classified and a checklist was made on a five-point scale to conduct a survey on parents with infants aged 18-24 months. Low sensitivity to screening of infants with language delays in nationally implemented infant health checkups, and domestic test tools are standardized for at least six to as many as 10 years, which is always possible in questionnaires related to acceptance and expression, with many reports from parents or teachers.The proportion of "wow" and "started to do" was more than 50-60%. Based on the results of this study, it is hoped that new standards for developmental evaluation will be developed to promote the design of appropriate interventions in detail at a short time.

본 연구는 언어가 가장 많이 발달하는 18-24개월 시기의 영아의 발달에 대해 세부적으로 파악하고, 빠른 시기에 적절한 중재 설계를 촉진 시킬 수 있는 발달 평가의 새로운 규준 마련에 목적이 있다. 따라서 우리는 18-24개월 영아의 언어발달 능력 지표를 알 수 있는 선별검사, 표준화된 검사도구 등의 하위 항목들을 구문/음운, 의미, 화용의 영역으로 나누어 각 문항들을 분류하고 5점 척도로 체크리스트를 만들어 18-24개월 영아를 둔 부모를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 현재 우리나라에서 국가적으로 시행하는 영유아 건강검진에서 언어 지연이 있는 영아 선별에 낮은 민감도, 국내 검사도구들이 표준화 된지 최소 6년에서 많게는 10년 이상으로 또래집단과 비교하였을 때 발달수준의 격차가 크다는 부모 또는 교사의 보고가 많은 실정이다. 연구 결과에서도 수용 및 표현 관련 설문 문항에서 '항상 가능하다.'와 '하기 시작했다'의 비율이 50~60% 이상이었다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 빠른 시기에 세부적으로 적절한 중재 설계를 촉진 시킬 수 있는 발달 평가의 새로운 규준이 마련되어 발달 및 언어 지연이 있는 영아의 선별에 활용되기를 바란다.
