The Effect of Semantic Support on Word Learning

Language Development Disorders

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare word learning outcomes in late talking toddlers who are taught different types of words. The main question it aims to answer is if teaching words that come from categories that children already know (e.g., animals) will aid overall word learning. Children will take part in the Vocabulary Acquisition and Usage for Late Talkers (VAULT) word learning treatment and be taught words from more familiar or less familiar categories to see which group learns more words overall.

A Framework For Linking Sequential Pattern Rules in DLD: Perception in Toddlers

Developmental Language DisorderSpeech Sound Disorder1 more

This broad aim of this clinical study is to assess the hypothesis that morphological and phonological deficits are linked by a broader deficit in sequential pattern learning. This hypothesis applies to learning in general, but is especially critical as an avenue for developing earlier assessments and more powerful interventions for children with developmental language disorder (DLD; AKA specific language impairment). Other populations, such as at-risk toddlers, may also benefit from this new approach.

Addressing Treatment Nonresponders

Language Development Disorders

The goal of this clinical trial is to see if providing late talking toddlers who are not responding to the Vocabulary Acquisition and Usage for Late Talkers (VAULT) treatment with a different way of communicating will help them improve their word learning. Participants will start with VAULT word learning treatment. If, in the first few sessions, it looks like they won't respond well, they will be provided with a Big Mack Augmentative and Alternative Communication device (a button that says a word when you press it) to use for their responses. The investigators will see if this modification will help with word learning.

Frenuloplasty for Speech and Myofunctional Outcomes

AnkyloglossiaSpeech Delay1 more

Children with ankyloglossia (tongue tie) can have abnormal tongue function, putting them at a disadvantage when it comes to speech and articulation. Furthermore, abnormal tongue posture within the oral cavity increases the likelihood of myofunctional disorders.

Retrieval-Based Word Learning in Developmental Language Disorder

Developmental Language DisorderSpecific Language Impairment1 more

Children with developmental language disorder (DLD; also referred to as specific language impairment) experience a significant deficit in language ability that is longstanding and harmful to the children's academic, social, and eventual economic wellbeing. Word learning is one of the principal weaknesses in these children. This project focuses on the word learning abilities of four- and five-year-old children with DLD. The goal of the project is to build on our previous work to determine whether, as we have found thus far, special benefits accrue when these children must frequently recall newly introduced words during the course of learning. In this first of a series of studies, we seek to increase the children's absolute levels of learning while maintaining the advantage that repeated retrieval holds over comparison methods of learning.

Learning to Talk, Learning to Eat: A Randomized Controlled Trial to Improve NICU Oral Feeding and...

Language DelayLanguage Development4 more

This is a randomized controlled trial to study an oromotor stimulation in combination with a reading curriculum in the NICU among preterm infants using oral muscle exercises, Language Environment Analysis (LENA) recordings, linguistic feedback, and a language curriculum to improve the neonatal inpatient oral feeding and language outcomes for preterm infants.

Early Neurophysiological Markers of Language Impairments

DevelopmentInfant4 more

The present project aims at identifying very early electrophysiological risk markers for language impairments. The long-term goals of the study include the characterization of learning developmental trajectories in children at high risk for language impairments. In this project, all the infants of the Medea BabyLab cohort are followed-up until school age. Since these infants have complete information on early electrophysiological markers, the final goal of the project is the characterization of their learning developmental trajectories and the construction of a multi-factor prognostic model that includes the neurophysiological processes underlying basic-level skills as potential biomarkers for predicting later reading and spelling skills.

Early UVFP Management Based on Neurological Evidences (ION-UVFP) - Preliminary Study

Unilateral Vocal Cord ParalysisCentral Auditory Processing Disorder

The purpose of this preliminary study is to help clarify our hypotheses for the longitudinal study by investigating the relationship between vocal cord paralysis and central auditory processes and thus the interpretation of auditory inputs into the central nervous system.
