Series: American Journal on Mental Retardation 103 (3) November 1998: 249-263.Publisher: 1998Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volume Subject(s): DEVELOPMENTAL ASSESSMENT | INFANTS | SPEECH DEVELOPMENT | DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIESSummary: By their 10th month of life, typically developing infants produce canonical babbling, which includes the well formed syllables required for meaningful speech. Research suggests that emerging speech or language-related disorders might be associated with late onset of canonical babbling. Onset of canonical babbling was investigated for 1,536 high risk infants, at about 10 months corrected age. Parental report by open ended questionaire was found to be an efficient method for ascertaining babbling status. Although delays were infrequent they were often associated with genetic neurological anatomical and/or physiological abnormalities. Over half the cases of late canonical babbling were not at the time they were discovered, associated with prior significant medical dianoses.. Late canonical-babbling onset may be a predictor of later developmental disabilities, including problems in speech, language, and reading.[AJ].Summary: 1/12/1998
