Abstract
A child's language development is inextricably linked to his capabilities in other areas. A multitude of factors influence the child's ability to develop and use language. Auditory skills are the most obvious and the most important skills necessary for language comprehension. Auditory acuity, or rather, the lack of it, is probably the single most important determiner of whether a child will spontaneously develop language. Children who are deaf never hear spoken language, and have difficulty comprehending the subtleties of it, (Myklebust, 1964; Schmitt, 1969).
