Letters and questionnaires to South African `expert' Griffiths uses in South Africa<br />
Dear .......………….……………………………….... date<br />
Griffiths Scales of Mental Development Research<br />
The University of Port Elizabeth is currently conducting a research project which involves revising the<br />
Hearing and Speech Scale of the Griffiths Scales of Mental Development (GSMD) (Extended Scale).<br />
Recent research conducted regarding the current use of the GSMD indicates that users find the 20<br />
small pictures and the large picture culturally biased and outdated. The aim of this research study,<br />
therefore is to revise the 20 pictures and the large picture, in order to make them more culturally<br />
neutral for the children of our contemporary world.<br />
The initial stage of the study, involved the preparation of 20 experimental revised pictures and 2 large<br />
pictures. One of the large pictures is to be appropriate for contemporary United<br />
Kingdom/European/Australian children and the second, for contemporary South African children.<br />
To assist us in reaching the aim of the study, your comments and suggestions would be greatly<br />
appreciated. We would appreciate it if you please complete the questionnaire, and return it to the<br />
university in the enclosed envelope before Monday, 12 May 1997.<br />
The success of this study will depend on your voluntary co-operation and we thank you in anticipation.<br />
Yours faithfully,<br />
