The appropriate selection of standardized tests is integral to establishing an accurate early diagnosis and providing timely treatment to optimize language outcomes in young children. However, clinicians sometimes utilize tests that are not validated for this specific purpose. This applied dissertation was designed to investigate the validity of…

Peer reviewedQuinn, Emily D.; Kaiser, Ann P.; Ledford, Jennifer – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study investigated the effects of enhanced milieu teaching (EMT) on caregiver implementation of language support strategies and child communication skills using a hybrid telepractice service delivery model. Method: Four caregivers and children with language delays aged 18-27 months participated in a multiple baseline across behaviors…

Vernon-Feagans, Lynne; Carr, Robert C.; Bratsch-Hines, Mary; Willoughby, Michael – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Both early childhood maternal language input and the quality of classroom instruction in elementary school have been shown to be important environmental supports in predicting children's literacy skill development. However, no studies have simultaneously examined these two environmental supports in relation to children's early language skills and…

Alcock, Katie; Connor, Simon – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Early motor abilities (gesture, oral motor, and gross/fine skills) are related to language abilities, and this is not due to an association with cognitive or symbolic abilities: Oral motor skills are uniquely associated with language abilities at 21 months of age. It is important to determine whether this motor-language relationship…

Gonzalez, Sandy L.; Campbell, Julie M.; Marcinowski, Emily C.; Michel, George F.; Coxe, Stefany; Nelson, Eliza L. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Prior work has found links between consistency in toddler handedness for the fine motor skill role-differentiated bimanual manipulation (RDBM), and language development at 2 and 3 years of age. The current study investigated whether consistency in handedness from 18 to 24 months (N = 90) for RDBM predicts receptive and expressive language…

Joint attention, or the shared focus of attention between objects or events and a social partner, is a crucial milestone in the development of social communication and a notable area of deficit in children with autism spectrum disorder. While valid parent-report screening measures of social communication are available, the majority of these…

Ye Shen; J. Marc Goodrich – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Spanish-speaking students constitute the largest subgroup of emergent bilingual (EB) students in the United States. Using longitudinal data on a nationally representative sample of Spanish-English EBs, we explore profiles of English reading trajectories and how early individual differences (i.e., early Spanish reading and English oral proficiency)…

Sultana, Nuzhat; Wong, Lena L. N.; Purdy, Suzanne C. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2020
Purpose: The current study was designed to investigate the differences in language input related to family factors (maternal level of education [MLE] and socioeconomic level of deprivation [SLD]) and their association with language outcomes in preschoolers. Method: This study used New Zealand SLD and MLE classification systems to examine…

Christina Stephens; Robert C. Pianta; Jessica E. Whittaker; Virginia E. Vitiello – Grantee Submission, 2025
Dual language learner children (DLLs) benefit from early childhood education (ECE) and learning multiple languages, but research has predominantly focused on English monolingual children, with limited insight on the ECE and early development of DLLs. This study investigated whether DLLs' developmental assets assessed at pre-k entry (i.e. English…

Jahromi, Laudan B.; Chen, Yanru; Dakopolos, Andrew J.; Chorneau, Alice – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
This study examined delay of gratification behaviors in preschool-aged children with and without autism spectrum disorder. Recent research has found that elementary-aged children with autism spectrum disorder showed challenges with delay of gratification and that there were individual differences in terms of children's behaviors during the wait.…

Qi, Cathy Hi; Zieher, Almut; Lee Van Horn, M.; Bulotsky-Shearer, Rebecca; Carta, Judith – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between language skills and behavioural problems and the potential moderating role of the quality of classroom emotional support in this relationship among 242 preschool children from low-income families. The "Preschool Language Scale-5" was administered individually to each…

Seager, Emily; Abbot-Smith, Kirsten – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2017
Language comprehension delays in pre-schoolers are predictive of difficulties in a range of developmental domains. In England, early years practitioners are required to assess the language comprehension of 2-year-olds in their care. Many use a format based on the Early Years Foundation Stage Unique Child Communication Sheet (EYFS:UCCS) in which…

Background: Differences in how developmental pathways interact dynamically in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) likely contribute in important ways to phenotypic heterogeneity. This study aimed to model longitudinal reciprocal associations between social competence (SOC) and language (LANG) pathways in young children with ASD. Methods:…
