Linguistic Production Abilities of 3-Year-Old Children Born Premature with Low Birth Weight.

Craig, Holly K.; And Others

Journal of Early Intervention, v15 n4 p326-37 Fall 1992

Of 30 children with low birth weight, only 4 demonstrated clinically significant language problems at age 3. Language problems were characterized by circumscribed expressive syntax difficulties but were not related systematically to birth weight, gestational age, length of neonatal hospitalization, severity of respiratory illness, socioeconomic status, family structure, or cognitive level.
