A Comparative Cohort-Sequential Study of Language-Impaired and Normally Language Developing 1st to 9th Graders.

Balancing Bilinguals II: Lexical Comprehension and Cognitive Processing in Children Learning Spanish and English.

Kohnert, Kathryn J.; Bates, Elizabeth – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2002
This study examined developmental changes in lexical comprehension in 100 bilingual individuals at five age levels, all of whom had learned Spanish as a first language and English beginning at age 5.

Early Language and Communicative Abilities of Children with Periventricular Leukomalacia.
Feldman, Heidi M.; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1992
Ten two-year-old children with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), a brain injury associated with prematurity, were evaluated using language samples. The five children with delayed cognitive ability produced significantly fewer lexical tokens and spontaneous verbal utterances than did chronological age-matched nondelayed PVL children. (Author/DB)

Carson, David K.; Klee, Thomas; Lee, Sarah; Perry, Cecyle K.; Williams, Karen C. – Journal of Children's Communication Development, 1998
This study examined the relationship among language proficiency, behavior problems, and other areas of development in 36 children (ages 36 to 40 months). A strong association was found between deficiencies in both expressive and receptive language and behavioral difficulties. Specifically, deficits in expressive language at age 2 were more…

Treatment of Early Expressive Language Delay: If, When, and How.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Whitehurst, Grover J.; And Others – Topics in Language Disorders, 1991
Twenty-seven toddlers identified as showing specific expressive language delay (ELD) were studied and followed through the preschool period. Findings indicated that home-based intervention accelerated vocabulary skills, but did not decrease the likelihood of later phonological problems. ELD was also seen as a self-correcting condition.

Program Evaluation Findings of an Intensive Early Intervention Program.
Fewell, Rebecca R.; Glick, Michelle P. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1996
An intensive early intervention program was evaluated by assessing gains made by 44 special needs children (age 2) in cognition, gross motor, fine motor, receptive language, and expressive language domains. Comparison of actual to predicted posttest scores did not reveal significant gains in any domains. In cognition, gross motor, and fine motor…
