The speech and language status of 662 children between the ages of 30 months and 5 years was determined through the use of parent report information. Twelve of these children were reported by their parents to have been diagnosed as having a speech-language disorder, and 50 of these children were found to be at or below the 10th percentile in language development for children of their age. Information about family background and birth history obtained when these children were born was evaluated with respect to its power to predict speech-language status in these preschool children. A set of risk criteria was found to accurately predict 55% of those children with poor communication skills and 76% of those with normal communication development. This prediction was improved by the addition of data about the child's birth order. These results suggest that programs of preschool identification should consider the inclusion of a registry of children who are at risk for a communication disorder.
通过使用家长报告信息，确定了662名年龄在30个月至5岁之间儿童的言语和语言状况。这些儿童中，有12名被家长报告诊断为患有言语语言障碍，还有50名儿童在其年龄组的语言发展方面处于或低于第10百分位。对这些儿童出生时获得的家庭背景和出生史信息进行了评估，以确定其预测这些学龄前儿童言语语言状况的能力。发现一组风险标准能够准确预测55%沟通能力较差的儿童以及76%沟通发展正常的儿童。通过增加有关孩子出生顺序的数据，这一预测得到了改善。这些结果表明，学龄前儿童识别项目应考虑纳入有沟通障碍风险儿童的登记册。
