Abstract

In this study, we investigated the applicability of the Kanazawa method and its efficiency for a child with multiple disabilities. We introduced language training for a child with hearing impairment, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and mental retardation from the age of 41 months. The child began to understand written language after 8 months. Immediate imitation of actions started after 12months. The number of words understandable by sign, written and auditory language became 46,37, and 12, respectively, after 15 months. The subject indicates that the Kanazawa method is effective even for children with mental retardation and disabilities in motion.
