SummaryParents of fifty children attending a child guidance clinic (clinic parents) were studied and compared with the parents of non-referred children matched on relevant parameters (control parents). The clinic parents differed significantly from the control parents on certain variables: presence of psychiatric morbidity in clinic mothers, disciplinary techniques used, attitude towards their own children and the marital relationship. There were no significant differences between the parents of the two groups in their attitudes towards their own parents. Alcoholism and sociopathy were not common among clinic fathers.

Speech Defects

A child guidance clinic caseload was examined to determine the prevalence of children with speech disorders. The clinical descriptions of the children with speech defects were compared with the descriptions of the remainder of the group. Children with different types of speech problem were also compared with each other. Of the 292 cases, 45 (15%) exhibited defective speech, including 27% articulation problems, 24% delayed speech, 20% stuttering, 29% combined disorders. The children with speech defects were somewhat younger than the other children. Soiling, thumbsucking, and wetting were seen more frequently in the speech defective group, and these children were reported to fight less with their parents. On all the other factors, the two groups were similar. Different patterns of symptoms were found in the speech defective subgroups. The children with articulation problems resembled the nonspeech defective group most closely. The children with delayed speech resembled them least closely.

Background: Learning Disability (LD) is a frequently neglected entity in our set up, with the affected children being labeled as dull and worthless. The feeling of inadequacy and shame leads to psychological problems in approx. 30% of these children. These include low self-esteem, school phobia, anxiety, depression, oppositional-defiant behavior and conduct disorders. Early recognition of this disability in the primary school children and initiating appropriate remedial measures can significantly reduce morbidity. Authors objective was to study the prevalence and pattern of alphabet problems in children with learning disability.Methods: This was a cross sectional study done in the Child Guidance Clinic of a tertiary care teaching hospital in Chitradurga district, Karnataka, between January 2016 and January 2018. After obtaining informed consent from parents, children between ages 5 to 17 years, diagnosed to have learning disability, were asked to write upper and lower case alphabets in English. Alphabet problem was diagnosed if child had mixing of upper and lower case alphabets, missing of alphabets, reversals and improper sequence. Association of alphabet problems with age and sex was studied.Results: There were 293 children with learning disability, between 5-17 yr of age, attending our Child Guidance Clinic, who were assessed for alphabet problems. Alphabet problems were noted in 83.6% children. Mixing of upper and lower case alphabets was seen in 74.74%, missing of alphabets in 25.94%, reversal of alphabet in 21.50% and errors in sequencing in 12.97%. The prevalence of alphabet problems was higher in the 5-8yr age group. Prevalence of alphabet problems was more in males compared to females.Conclusions: Alphabet problems were present in a significant number of children with learning disability. Presence of alphabet problems could be used as a simple screening tool for children with learning disabilities.
