Lynn K. Perry; Daniel S. Messinger; Ivette Cejas – Developmental Science, 2025
Although vocabulary size is thought to index children's language abilities, an increasing body of work suggests that regularities in children's vocabulary composition, particularly the proportion of shape-based nouns (e.g., cup), support language development. Here we examine initial vocabulary composition in children with hearing loss following…

Wafa A. Aljohani; Julia L. Ferguson; Joseph H. Cihon; Robert K. Ross; Mary Jane Weiss; Justin B. Leaf – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2024
This study compared the use of delivering a single instruction (e.g., Who is it?) versus varied instructions (e.g., What's their name? Who is this? What about this one?) when teaching three children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) novel expressive label targets via direct telehealth. The present investigation utilized an adapted…

Karolina Wieczorek; Megan DeGroot; Heather Ganshorn; Susan A. Graham – Child Development, 2025
Research examining relations between language skills and social competence has yielded mixed findings. Three meta-analyses investigated links between language skills (overall, receptive, and expressive) and social competence in 2- to 12-year-old children. Data from 130 studies representing 62,120 children (M age at language assessment = 4.70…

Ida Bonnerup Jepsen; Cecilia Brynskov; Per Hove Thomsen; Charlotte Ulrikka Rask; Kristine Jensen de López; Rikke Lambek – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Objective: To provide an in-depth examination of whether pragmatic, expressive, receptive, and narrative language are associated with the social and academic functioning of children with ADHD. Method: Children with ADHD (n = 46) and neurotypical comparison (NC) children (n = 40) aged 7 to 11 years completed tasks measuring expressive, receptive,…

Casey K. Reimer; Heather Grantham; Andrew C. Butler – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2024
On average, deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children have difficulty developing expressive spoken vocabulary comparable to hearing peers. Yet, there are no evidence-based practices to guide classroom instruction for teachers of the deaf. Retrieval practice--a robust learning strategy--has been shown to improve children's retention of vocabulary,…

Shelley L. Velleman; Vitor N. Guimaraes; Bonita P. Klein-Tasman; Myra J. Huffman; Angela M. Becerra; Carolyn B. Mervis – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore relations between speech sound disorder severity and selective mutism in a group of children with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome (Dup7), a genetic condition predisposing children to childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) and other speech sound disorders and to anxiety disorders, including selective mutism and…

Lue Shen; Anfeng Xu; Lindsay K. Butler; Karen Chenausky; Marc Maffei; Shrikanth Narayanan; Helen Tager-Flusberg – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Conversational latency entails the temporal feature of turn-taking, which is understudied in autistic children. The current study investigated the influences of child-based and parental factors on conversational latency in autistic children with heterogeneous spoken language abilities. Method: Participants were 46 autistic children aged…

James Mahshie; Cynthia Core; Michael D. Larsen – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Despite the ability of cochlear implants (CIs) to provide children with access to speech, there is considerable variability in spoken language outcomes. Research aimed at identifying factors influencing speech production accuracy is needed. Aims: To characterize the consonant production accuracy of children with cochlear implants…

Camilla E. Crawshaw; Carina Lüke; Ute Ritterfeld – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Prior work has found that "late talkers" (LTs) as a group continue to demonstrate lower language and reading outcomes compared to their typically developing (TD) peers even into young adulthood. Others identified that children diagnosed with developmental language disorder (DLD) show difficulties later with theory of mind (ToM)…

Mihaela D. Barokova; Helen Tager-Flusberg – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Parental input plays a central role in typical language acquisition and development. In autism spectrum disorder (ASD), characterized by social communicative and language difficulties, parental input presents an important avenue for investigation as a target for intervention. A rich body of literature has identified which aspects of…

Sirpa Tarvainen; Pauline Frizelle; Hanna Granroth-Wilding; Suvi Stolt; Kaisa Launonen – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Language interventions are complex behavioural interventions, making it difficult to distinguish the specific factors contributing to efficacy. The efficacy of oral language comprehension interventions varies greatly, but the reasons for this have received little attention. Aims: The aim of this meta-analysis was to examine which…

Marc F. Maffei; Karen V. Chenausky; Helen Tager-Flusberg; Jordan R. Green – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Despite known motor and spoken language impairments in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the motor skills underlying speech production and their relationship with language skills have rarely been directly investigated in this population. Method: Thirty-nine autistic children (14 minimally verbal [MV], 25 verbal [V]) and 11 non-autistic…

Maria I. Grigos; Julie Case; Ying Lu; Zhuojun Lyu – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Speech motor skill is refined over the course of practice, which is commonly reflected by increased accuracy and consistency. This research examined the relationship between auditory-perceptual ratings of word accuracy and measures of speech motor timing and variability at pre- and posttreatment in children with childhood apraxia of…

Jean Ecalle; Xavier Thierry; Hélène Labat; Annie Magnan – First Language, 2024
A 7-year longitudinal study was conducted as part of the French national cohort ELFE (N = 1095). The aim was to identify how and why early language skills at 2 years might predict later literacy skills assessed successively at 5, 7, and 9 years (LitSk5y; 7y; 9y). Using one and the same model, we also examined the relations between literacy skills…

Pauline Maes; Chelsea La Valle; Helen Tager-Flusberg – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and aims: Nongenerative speech is the rote repetition of words or phrases heard from others or oneself. The most common manifestations of nongenerative speech are immediate and delayed echolalia, which are a well-attested clinical feature and a salient aspect of atypical language use in autism. However, there are no current estimates of…
