Language performance in three groups of children with sickle cell disease: those with stroke, without stroke, and at risk for stroke.
Language performance was assessed in three groups of children (16 boys and 14 girls) with sickle cell disease: those with stroke, without stroke, and at risk for stroke. Scores of the three groups did not differ significantly on language comprehension, language expression, spatial orientation, or on overall combined performance scores. Such results have positive medical implications.
