Yoshinaga-Itano, Christine; Sedey, Allison

Volta Review, v100 n5 p181-211 Nov 1999

A study investigated the relationship between speech production and several demographic and developmental factors in 147 children (ages 14-60 months) with hearing impairments. Significant predictors of speech intelligibility and phonetic inventory included the child's age, expressive language ability, degree of hearing loss, mode of communication, and presence of additional disabilities.
