Okhiria, Åsa; Persson, Christina; Johansson, Monica Blom; Hakelius, Malin; Nowinski, Daniel – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: At the beginning of the 21st century, international adoptions of children with cleft lip and/or palate increased dramatically in Sweden. Many children arrived partially or totally unoperated, despite being at an age when palatoplasty has usually been performed. To date, the speech development of internationally adopted (IA) children…

Mettler, Heidi M.; Neiling, Sarah Lynn; Figueroa, Cecilia R.; Evans-Reitz, Nora; Alt, Mary – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: This feasibility study examined a caregiver-implemented telehealth model of the Vocabulary Acquisition and Usage for Late Talkers (VAULT) protocol. We asked whether caregivers could reach fidelity on VAULT, if the protocol was socially and ecologically valid, and if late-talking toddlers could learn new words with this model. Method: Five…

De Ryck, Mira; Van Lierde, Kristiane; Alighieri, Cassandra; Hens, Greet; Bettens, Kim – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Children born with a cleft palate with or without cleft lip (CP ± L) are known to be at risk for speech-language disorders that impact educational and social-emotional growth. It is hypothesized that speech-language intervention delivered before the age of 3 years could decrease the impact of CP ± L on speech-language development.…

Amy Armstrong-Heimsoth; Abbey Monroe; Camryn Cupp; Nancy Potter; Mark VanDam; Beate Peter – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2024
Speech problems affect about 66% of children with classic galactosemia (CG), but limited evidence is reported on early motor and sensory motor development in this at-risk population. Research has been focused on speech and language development, leaving a paucity of data on motor and sensory differences. This paper describes preliminary data…

Aisha Casoojee; Katijah Khoza-Shangase; Amisha Kanji – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2024
Background: Two intervention approaches are implemented in South Africa to alleviate the deleterious consequences of congenital or early onset hearing impairment on language acquisition and subsequent poor learning outcomes. Aim: This study investigated the learning outcomes of foundation phase learners with severe to profound hearing impairment…

Ben Maassen; Hayo Terband – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Background: Children with speech sound disorders (SSD) form a heterogeneous group, with respect to severity, etiology, proximal causes, speech error characteristics, and response to treatment. Infants develop speech and language in interaction with neurological maturation and general perceptual, motoric, and cognitive skills in a social-emotional…

Leydi Johana Chaparro-Moreno; Hugo Gonzalez Villasanti; Laura M. Justice; Jing Sun; Mary Beth Schmitt – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This study examines the accuracy of Interaction Detection in Early Childhood Settings (IDEAS), a program that automatically transcribes audio files and estimates linguistic units relevant to speech-language therapy, including part-of-speech units that represent features of language complexity, such as adjectives and coordinating…

Worldwide, 15 million babies are "born too soon" every year (Blencowe et al., 2012; Howson et al., 2013). Remarkably, prematurity survival rates now exceed 93% across all countries. More than 360,000 preterm babies survived in the United States in 2020; 10% of all births (Blencowe et al., 2012; Howson et al., 2013). While this is an…

Latino families should be fully supported to accomplish their goals for the bilingual development and school success of their children. Unfortunately, they often encounter misinformation and negative messages regarding early bilingual development, specifically the belief that young children are "confused" if they grow up with two…

Munro, Natalie; Baker, Elise; Masso, Sarah; Carson, Lynn; Lee, Taiying; Wong, Anita M. -Y.; Stokes, Stephanie F. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study examined the effect of Vocabulary Acquisition and Usage for Late Talkers (VAULT) treatment on toddlers' expressive vocabulary and phonology. Parent acceptability of VAULT treatment was also considered. Method: We used a nonconcurrent multiple baseline single case experimental design with three late talking toddlers aged 21-25…

Meyer, Marie K.; Munson, Benjamin – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Accurate and detailed records of children's speech are a critical component of competent service delivery in speech-language pathology/speech and language therapy (SLP/SLT). Previous research has shown that during speech-sound acquisition, children gradually learn to produce sounds in adult-like manners. Continuous rating scales are a…

Seager, Emily; Sampson, Sarah; Sin, Jacqueline; Pagnamenta, Emma; Stojanovik, Vesna – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Speech and language acquisition can be a challenge for young children with Down syndrome (DS), and while early intervention is important, we do not know what early interventions exist and how effective they may be. Aims: To systematically review existing early speech, language and communication interventions for young children with DS…

Venker, Courtney E.; McDaniel, Jena; Yasick, Megan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: It is common for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to simplify their utterances when talking to children with language delays, but there is disagreement about whether simplified utterances should be grammatical (e.g., "Daddy is running, See the cookie?") or telegraphic (e.g., "Daddy running, See cookie?"). This study…

Ambreen, Saira; To, Carol K. S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Background: Speech and language researchers study phonological acquisition and evaluate the errors that children make to understand this complex process. This information provides clinicians with a scientific reference for better assessment and intervention services to children with articulation/phonological disorders. Urdu is a language spoken by…

Alexopoulos, Johanna; Giordano, Vito; Janda, Charlotte; Benavides-Varela, Silvia; Seidl, Rainer; Doering, Stephan; Berger, Angelika; Bartha-Doering, Lisa – Developmental Science, 2021
Auditory speech discrimination is essential for normal language development. Children born preterm are at greater risk of language developmental delays. Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy at term-equivalent age, the present study investigated early discrimination of speech prosody in 62 neonates born between week 23 and 41 of gestational…
