STUDY ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF CHILD ABUSE ON THE LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

With the study about the consequences of child abuse on the language development, we try to determine if the ill-treatment to children have repercussions on such area and if there are differential linguistic repercussions according to the kind of child abuse suffered. For this, we analyse samples of child abuse such as physical abandonment, emotional abandonment, physical abuse and emotional abuse. We show the results of the application of McCarthy´s Scales about Aptitudes and Psychomobility for children (MSCA) and the Objective and Criterial Battery of Language (BLOC) to a total of 39 minors in the situation of child lack of protection and belonging to different kinds of child abuse.
