Abstract

Studies link a lower level of maternal education with an increased risk of developing language and
speech difficulties in children (Campbell et al., 2003; Stanton-Chapman et al., 2002). This study was
therefore performed to examine whether there are differences in educational level of parents of children
involved in the Department for Rehabilitation and Education of Preschool Children at the SUVAG
Polyclinic and parents of children involved in regular preschool facilities. This study includes data for
207 children, residents of Zagreb, who have been involved in complex rehabilitation in the Department
for Rehabilitation and Education of Preschool Children at the SUVAG Polyclinic for the previous two
years and the equivalent number of children involved in 5 preschool facilities from different areas of
Zagreb. The children are equal by age variable. The second aim of this study is to question the age of
children with communication, speech and language disorders when being involved in diagnostic and
rehabilitation process considering their previous involvement in regular preschool facility. Purpose of this
study is to contribute to current knowledge about the connection between educational level of parents
and speech and language difficulties and time of involvement in diagnostic and rehabilitation process
considering previous involvement in regular preschool facility. Results of this study show statistically
significant difference in educational level between parents of children involved in the Department for
Rehabilitation and Education of Preschool Children at the SUVAG Polyclinic and parents of children
involved in regular preschool facilities. Children who were previously involved in regular preschool
facility begin diagnostic and rehabilitation process at the SUVAG Polyclinic at a later age in comparison
to children who were previously not involved in regular preschool facility.
