Dowdall, Nicholas; Melendez-Torres, G. J.; Murray, Lynne; Gardner, Frances; Hartford, Leila; Cooper, Peter J. – Child Development, 2020
Interventions that train parents to share picture books with children are seen as a strategy for supporting child language development. We conducted meta-analyses using robust variance estimation modeling on results from 19 RCTs (N[subscript total] = 2,594; M[subscript child age] = 1-6 years). Overall, book-sharing interventions had a small sized…

Culloty, Amy M.; O'Toole, Ciara; Gibbon, Fiona E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: This study examines the expressive language and speech of twins, relative to singletons, at 3 and 5 years, with the aim of determining if a twinning effect occurs during this developmental period. The possibility of twins outgrowing a twinning effect was investigated. Method: A weighted population-based sample of 185 twins and 1,309…

Panganiban, Jonathan Luke – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Much research in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has focused on the development of efficacious interventions to address the core deficits of ASD. However, the heterogeneous nature of ASD complicates the development of such interventions. With great heterogeneity in the expression of ASD's core deficits, it is unlikely that there is a one size fits…

Finnegan, Elizabeth G.; Asaro-Saddler, Kristie; Zajic, Matthew C. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
This study compared pronoun use in individuals with autism to their typically developing peers via meta-analysis and systematic review of 20 selected articles to examine differences in overall pronoun usage as well as in personal, ambiguous, possessive, reflexive, and clitic pronoun usage. Summary effects indicated significant differences between…

Oh, Min Hyun; Mancilla-Martinez, Jeannette – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2021
Purpose: Despite the unprecedented growth of Spanish-English dual language learners (DLLs) in new destination states--where DLLs have not been historically served--empirical understanding of their language and literacy skills is scant. Drawing on scientific understandings of bilingual language acquisition, we compare monolingually scored and…

Feldman, Jacob I.; Raj, Sweeya; Bowman, Sarah M.; Santapuram, Pooja; Golden, Alexandra J.; Daly, Claire; Dunham, Kacie; Suzman, Evan; Augustine, Ashley E.; Garla, Varsha; Muhumuza, Aine; Cascio, Carissa J.; Williams, Kathryn L.; Kirby, Anne V.; Keceli-Kaysili, Bahar; Woynaroski, Tiffany G. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Differences in communication development impact long-term outcomes of children with autism. Previous research has identified factors associated with communication in children with autism, but much of the variance in communication skill remains unexplained. It has been proposed that early differences in sensory responsiveness (i.e.,…

Faroqi-Shah, Yasmeen; Gehman, Megan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: When speakers retrieve words, they do so extremely quickly and accurately--both speed and accuracy of word retrieval are compromised in persons with aphasia (PWA). This study examined the contribution of two domain-general mechanisms: processing speed and cognitive control on word retrieval in PWA. Method: Three groups of participants,…

Jansen, Rianne; Maljaars, Jarymke; Zink, Inge; Steyaert, Jean; Noens, Ilse – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2021
Background & aims: Due to the complexity of early diagnostic decision making, we examined the predictive value of an early diagnostic classification and early abilities on later best estimate diagnosis for 22 clinically referred children with language difficulties. Methods and procedures: Four years after initial evaluation (Time 1), the…

Adriana Soto-Corominas; Helena Roquet; Marta Segura – Applied Linguistics, 2024
Research on the implementation of CLIL at the onset of primary school is limited and has largely overlooked the role of other sources of individual differences. This study investigated the effects of the CLIL approach to English learning, together with the effects of out-of-school exposure to the language through media and other sources of…

Rodgers, Lucy; Harding, Sam; Rees, Rachel; Clarke, Michael T. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Recent evidence suggests that pre-school children with co-occurring phonological speech sound disorder (SSD) and expressive language difficulties are at a higher risk of ongoing communication and literacy needs in comparison with children with these difficulties in isolation. However, to date there has been no systematic or scoping…

Few studies have considered academic vocabulary interventions for students who have learning disabilities (LD) and also are English learners (EL). This research explored the effects of the third year of the Creating Habits that Accelerate Academic Language of Students (CHAAOS) vocabulary intervention for eighth-grade students who received English…
