New study links testosterone levels in the womb and language problems
The study is the first of its kind to track language delay from two years of age through to late adolescence, using data collected from the long running Raine
findings from the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research that show relatively common stressful events during pregnancy do not have a long term impact
Child health expert Fiona Stanley says effective action to break the cycle of disadvantage for Aboriginal children must begin well before they start school.
New research findings from the world's largest study predicting children's late language emergence has revealed that parents are not to blame for late talking
Communication impairments are a leading concern for parent caregivers of individuals with rare neurodevelopmental disorders. Clinical trials of disease modifying therapies require valid and responsive outcome measures that are relevant to individuals with RNDDs. Identifying and evaluating current psychometric properties for communication measures is a critical step towards the selection and use of appropriate instruments.
CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) is a genetically caused developmental epileptic encephalopathy that causes severe communication impairments. Communication of individuals with CDD is not well understood in the literature and currently available measures are not well validated in this population. Accurate and sensitive measurement of the communication of individuals with CDD is important for understanding this condition, clinical practice, and upcoming interventional trials.
Investigating the impact of early childhood ventilation tube insertion (VTI) on long-term language outcomes.
Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) contributes to widespread neurodevelopmental challenges, including reading, and has been associated with altered white matter. Here, we aimed to investigate whether arcuate fasciculus development is associated with pre-reading language skills in young children with PAE.
Growing up in a language-rich home environment is important for children's language development in the early years. The concept of "technoference" (technology-based interference) suggests that screen time may be interfering with opportunities for talk and interactions between parent and child; however, limited longitudinal evidence exists exploring this association.
