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)…

Griffiths, Sarah; Kievit, Rogier A.; Norbury, Courtenay – Developmental Science, 2022
Mutualism is a developmental theory that posits positive reciprocal relationships between distinct cognitive abilities during development. It predicts that abilities such as language and reasoning will influence each other's rates of growth. This may explain why children with Language Disorders also tend to have lower than average non-verbal…

Lindsay R. Dennis; Kelly Farquharson; Anne Reed; Rebecca Summy; Jennifer Westmoreland; Kimberline Clark – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2024
This study examined the effects of practice-based coaching with scripted supports designed to support paraeducators and speech-language pathology assistants (SLP-As) as they implement evidence-based shared book reading strategies with preschoolers with language delays. A single-case, multiple baseline across behaviors was employed. Five U.S.…

Larson, Caroline; Kaplan, David; Kaushanskaya, Margarita; Weismer, Susan Ellis – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Background: This study examined predictive relationships between two indices of language--receptive vocabulary and morphological comprehension--and inhibition in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typically developing (TD) children. Methods: Participants included 30 children with SLI and 41 TD age-matched peers (8-12 years). At…

Payesteh, Bita; Pham, Giang T. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: Cognates, words in two languages that share form and meaning, can be used to support vocabulary development in bilingual children. Typically developing bilinguals have shown better performance on cognates versus noncognates. Of key interest is whether bilinguals with developmental language disorder (DLD) also show a cognate effect and, if…

Castilla-Earls, Anny; Ronderos, Juliana; McIlraith, Autumn; Martinez, Damaris – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: This study investigated the effect of delivery method (face-to-face or telepractice), time, home language, and language ability on bilingual children's receptive vocabulary scores in Spanish and English. Method: Participants included bilingual children with (n = 32) and without (n = 57) developmental language disorders (DLD) that were…

Smolander, Sini; Laasonen, Marja; Arkkila, Eva; Lahti-Nuuttila, Pekka; Kunnari, Sari – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Language exposure is known to be a key factor influencing bilingual vocabulary development in typically developing (TD) children. There is, however, a lack of knowledge in terms of exposure effects in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) and, especially, in interaction with age of onset (AoO) of second language…

Tribushinina, Elena; Niemann, Geke; Meuwissen, Joyce – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2023
This article is one of the first attempts to study the mechanisms of foreign language learning by children with DLD. We test the effectiveness of a cognate intervention aiming to enhance cross-linguistic awareness of Dutch-speaking primary-school pupils with DLD, as part of their English as a Foreign Language (EFL) curriculum. The participants…

Frey, Nathalie; Lüke, Carina – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2023
Learning academic vocabulary is a crucial task for all students, but especially challenging for students with speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN) and those who are multilingual. Following a participatory research strategy, we analyze whether iconic gestures can be integrated in teaching routines in an inclusive elementary school and…

Pomper, Ron; McGregor, Karla K.; Arbisi-Kelm, Timothy; Eden, Nichole; Ohlmann, Nancy – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The current study compared the effects of direct instruction versus indirect exposure on multiple aspects of novel word learning for children with developmental language disorder (DLD) and children with typical language development (TLD). Method: Participants included 36 children with DLD and 45 children with TLD. All children were in the…

McNeill, Brigid; McIlraith, Autumn L.; Macrae, Toby; Gath, Megan; Gillon, Gail – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe and explain changes in severity of speech sound disorder (SSD) and token-to-token inconsistency in children with high levels of inconsistency. Method: Thirty-nine children (aged 4;6-7;11 [years;months]) with SSDs and high levels of token-to-token inconsistency were assessed every 6 months for 2 years…

Schmitt, Mary Beth; Tambyraja, Sherine; Thibodeaux, Megan; Filipkowski, Jen – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of school-age children with language impairment (LI) and their speech-language pathologists (SLPs) relied on telepractice service delivery models. Unfortunately, the dearth of evidence and procedural guidance available to SLPs has made this transition challenging at best. Method: The current study…

Steele, Sara C.; Gibbons, L. Grace – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2023
This study documented the standardized tests and informal assessment techniques that school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) reported as most helpful for identifying vocabulary deficits and for monitoring progress. Speech-language pathologists (N = 142) working in U.S. public school settings completed an online survey that included…

Grace T. Clark – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Typically developing (TD) children, as young as four years of age, have demonstrated enhanced noun learning when orthographic representations are presented during learning tasks. This dissertation investigated the impact of orthographic support on word learning in diverse populations, focusing on children from a variety of clinical categories…

Towson, Jacqueline A.; Green, Katherine B.; Abarca, Diana L. – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2020
We examined how educating paraprofessionals in preschool classrooms on dialogic reading (DR) affected their storybook reading and effects on children's single word vocabulary. Through a single-case multiple-probe across participants design including four paraprofessionals and eight preschool children, we identified a functional relation between…
