Students with word finding disorders: three case studies.
Case studies of three students of different ages with different types and degrees of word finding disorders are presented. One student is at the beginning of his school career, one has been in school for 7 years, and the third individual is a young adult who left school after completing only 11 grades. Each student's word finding profile and characteristics are presented as well as the impact of the disorder upon school performance particularly in the area of reading. Recommendations are made for intervention involving collaboration between speech-language pathologists and educators.
