Abstract Details

2001, MA, University of Cincinnati, Allied Health Sciences : Communication Sciences and Disorders.
This study investigated information parents of children born prematurely reported that they received about speech and language delays. It examined whether or not children were considered at risk for communication and language delays and whether or not parents were seeking intervention for their children. Children were separated into two categories: Children who passed The Infant/Toddler Checklist for Communication and Language Development (Wetherby & Prizant, 1998) and children who failed the checklist. Comparisons were made between the information parents reported that they received and whether parents were seeking intervention services. For both groups of children, there was not a significant relationship between whether or not parents sought services and whether or not parents reported that they received information about the risks for speech and language delays. The reason for this finding in both groups was that there were a large number of parents who reported that they were not informed of risks and they were not seeking services. The implications of these findings are discussed.
