摘要

Feelings about oneself, others, and the future determine a person’s level of performance and productivity. Student teenagers with speech and language disabilities frequently confront difficulties that impact their personal worth, self-esteem, and social integration. To address this issue, this study investigates the effectiveness of Rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT) as an intervention for improving the personal value development of school-age adolescents with speech and language difficulties. An experimental strategy was used, including pre- and post-intervention assessments and a follow-up test to assess changes in participants’ self-perception about personal value. A sampling of 103 students with speech and language impairments was used. All the participants were systematically randomized into two arms and assessed three times using a personal value scale. The randomization of 52 participants for the intervention group and 51 participants for the control group was done using the sequence allocation method. A repeated measure ANOVA was used to analyzed the data. The findings showed that the intervention group had a significant effect on improving the personal values of the students. The results also suggest that the personal value scores of the students do not have a statistically significant interaction effect of group and gender and gender does not significantly influence personal value system of the students. Therefore, it was recommended that speech pathologists should liaise with rational emotive behaviour therapists in diagnosing people with speech impairment in schools. It also provided insightful information in understanding and helping those with speech impairment.
