Re: [phono-tx] Re: toddlers under age 2

Kerry,

I recently received this info from Cindy Earle, Program Manager for
Target Word^® - The Hanen Program^® for Parents of Children who are Late
Talkers:

"New research findings from the world's largest study on language
emergence have revealed that /one in four late talking toddlers continue
to have language problems at age 7/.^1

Mabel Rice, one of the study's primary investigators, stated that,
"While a late start doesn't necessarily predict ongoing language
problems, most school-aged children with impaired language were late
talkers."

This is the reference:

^1 Rice, M.L., Taylor, C.L., & Zubrick, S.R. (2008). Language Outcomes
of 7-Year-Old Children With or Without a History of Late Language
Emergence at 24 Months. /Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing
Research/, /51,/ 394-407.

Hope this is useful.

Sharon
