A child's ability to communicate is one of their most important developmental achievements. It builds a foundation for everything that is to come.
A world-first study from The Kids for Child Health Research has identified risk factors for receptive language development in Australian children.
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
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.
Investigating the impact of early childhood ventilation tube insertion (VTI) on long-term language outcomes.
The number of words children produce (expressive vocabulary) and understand (receptive vocabulary) changes rapidly during early development, partially due to genetic factors. Here, we performed a meta-genome-wide association study of vocabulary acquisition and investigated polygenic overlap with literacy, cognition, developmental phenotypes, and neurodevelopmental conditions, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
