Using a sample of Head…

Lewis, Fiona M.; Coman, David J.; Syrmis, Maryanne – Early Child Development and Care, 2014
There are no known biomedical or genetic markers to identify which infants with galactosaemia (GAL) are most at risk of poor language skill development, yet pre-linguistic communicative "red flag" behaviours are recognised as early identifiers of heightened vulnerability to impaired language development. We report on pre-linguistic…
