In this article, the judgement of memory and rhyme are evaluated through non-speaking individuals. Bishop, D. V. M., Byers-Brown, B., & Robson, J. (1990). The relationship between phoneme discrimination, speech production, and language comprehension in cerebral palsied individuals. Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 33, 210 – 219. Non-spoken individuals with Cerebral Palsy may have impairments in language because they cannot develop an articulatory code. In this sense, these individuals have varying perceptions of language, hence, producing a language differing in specific areas than those who can speak. Card, R., & Dodd, B. (2006). The phonological awareness abilities of children with cerebral palsy who do not speak. AAC: Augmentative & Alternative Communication , 22(3), 149-159 11p. It is commonly assumed that an inability to speak leaves an inability to comprehend spoken language. Such a theory should predict that non-vocal children with cerebral palsy should have an impaired perception of speech due to the lack of opportunity to learn articulatory code. It has been shown, though, that in the absence of other cognitive impairments, most non- vocal children with cerebral palsy have intact language comprehension. This article presents a study of a range of speakers and non-speakers with cerebral palsy
