Klieve, Sharon; Eadie, Patricia; Graham, Lorraine; Leitão, Suze – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Understanding what is known about the language profiles of children with hearing loss (CHL) is vital so that researchers and teachers can identify the specific complex syntactic structures that CHL may struggle to master. An understanding of which aspects of complex syntax pose difficulties for CHL is necessary to inform the kind of…

Bryan K. Murray; Katherine T. Rhodes; Julie A. Washington – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Syntax provides critical support for both academic success and linguistic growth, yet it has not been a focus of language research in school-age African American children. This study examines complex syntax performance of African American children in second through fifth grades. Method: The current study explores the syntactic…

Boada, Katheryn L.; Boada, Richard; Pennington, Bruce F.; Peterson, Robin L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Speech sound disorder (SSD) in conjunction with a language disorder has been associated with poor literacy acquisition; however, no study has evaluated whether articulation, phonological, or sequencing skills are differentially related to reading skills. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between speech error types at ages…

Andres, Erin M.; Earnest, Kathleen Kelsey; Smith, Shelley D.; Rice, Mabel L.; Raza, Muhammad Hashim – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Specific language impairment (SLI) is characterized by a delay in language acquisition despite a lack of other developmental delays or hearing loss. Genetics of SLI is poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to identify SLI genetic loci through family-based linkage mapping. Method: We performed genome-wide parametric linkage…

Branum-Martin, Lee; Rhodes, Katherine T.; Sun, Congying; Washington, Julie A.; Webb, Mi-Young – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Many language tests use different versions that are not statistically linked or do not have a developmental scaled score. The current article illustrates the problems of scores that are not linked or equated, followed by a statistical model to derive a developmental scaled score. Method: Using an accelerated cohort design of 890 students…

Lewis, Barbara A.; Minnes, Sonia; Short, Elizabeth J.; Min, Meeyoung O.; Wu, Miaoping; Lang, Adelaide; Weishampel, Paul; Singer, Lynn T. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2013
Purpose: In this study, the authors aimed to examine the long-term effects of prenatal cocaine exposure (PCE) on the language development of 12-year-old children using a prospective design, controlling for confounding prenatal drug exposure and environmental factors. Method: Children who were exposed to cocaine in utero (PCE; "n" = 183)…

Hoffman, LaVae M.; Loeb, Diane Frome; Brandel, Jayne; Gillam, Ronald B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2011
Purpose: This study investigated the psychometric properties of 2 oral language measures that are commonly used for diagnostic purposes with school-age children who have language impairments. Method: Two hundred sixteen children with specific language impairment were assessed with the Test of Language Development--Primary, Third Edition (TOLD-P:3;…
