“…As for handicaps, infants show high levels of volubility at least in the first year for cases such as cleft palate, 83 , 84 Williams syndrome, 85 Fragile X syndrome, 86 autism, 87 and even bilateral profound deafness. 88 Infants born prematurely and still in neonatal intensive care begin protophone production at 2 months prior to due date (32 weeks gestational age), having been de-intubated shortly beforehand.…”

Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the predictive potential of language environment and vocal development status measures obtained through integrated analysis of Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) recordings during the prelinguistic stage for subsequent speech and language development in Korean-acquiring children. Specifically, this study explored whether measures from both LENA-automated analysis and human coding at 6–8 months and 12–14 months of age predict vocabulary and phonological development at 18–20 months. Method: One-day home recordings from 20 children were collected using a LENA recorder at 6–8 months, 12–14 months, and 18–20 months. Both LENA-automated measures and measures from human coding were obtained from recordings at 6–8 months and 12–14 months. The number of different words, consonant inventory, and utterance structure inventory were identified from recordings of 18–20 months. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were performed to investigate whether measures related to early language environment and child vocalization at 6–8 months and 12–14 months were predictive of vocabulary and phonological measures at 18–20 months. Results: The results showed that the two main LENA-automated measures, conversational turn count (CTC) and child vocalization count, were positively correlated with all vocabulary and phonological measures at 18–20 months. Multiple regression analysis revealed that CTC during the prelinguistic stages was the most significant predictor of a number of different words, consonant inventory, and utterance structure inventory at 18–20 months. Also, adult word count in LENA-automated measures, child-directed speech ratio, and canonical babbling ratio measured by human coding significantly predicted some vocabulary and phonological measures at 18–20 months. Conclusion: This study highlights the multifaceted nature of language acquisition and collectively emphasizes the value of considering both quantitative and qualitative aspects of language input to understand early language development in children.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of socioeconomic deprivation on language and developmental outcomes in toddlers with cleft palate with or without cleft lip (CP ± L). Other factors known to influence language outcomes were also considered, including home language history, history of hearing problems, syndromic diagnoses, and sex. Method: A multicenter, cross-sectional study design was conducted. Data for 566 16-month-old toddlers with CP ± L were collected from 17 outpatient cleft palate clinics located throughout the United States. Outcome measures included the MacArthur–Bates Communicative Development Inventories, LENA Developmental Snapshot, age at first word as reported by the caregiver, and the Ages and Stages Questionnaires–Third Edition (ASQ-3). Multivariable linear or logistic regression was used to determine the influence of socioeconomic deprivation, as measured by the Area Deprivation Index, on language and developmental outcomes. Results: Greater socioeconomic deprivation significantly predicted poorer language outcomes in toddlers with CP ± L, including receptive vocabulary words ( p = .02), expressive vocabulary words ( p = .02), and late-developing gestures ( p = .02). Additionally, toddlers from less affluent neighborhoods produced their first words significantly later than their counterparts living in more affluent areas ( p < .01). Lower maternal education levels predicted significantly increased risk for problem solving delays ( p < .01), and patients with subsidized insurance were at significantly increased risk for personal–social delays on the ASQ-3 ( p < .01). Conclusions: Children with CP ± L are susceptible to developmental delays associated with socioeconomic deprivation. These findings have implications for identifying a child's individual risk factors for developmental language disorders when conducting speech-language assessments. Future study should examine how inequities in care can be mitigated and addressed.
