Assertive and responsive conversational skills of Italian‐speaking late talkers

Abstract: This study confirms a delay in the development of late talkers' social-conversational skills. An investigation of individual profiles suggests that some late talkers may require goals for vocabulary development as well as independent goals for developing pragmatic skills.

“…However, children adopted from abroad may be similar to children with expressive language impairment or children identified as late talkers, who also demonstrate socioemotional problems associated with expressive language delay (Irwin, Carter, & Briggs-Gowan, 2002). Late talkers continue to demonstrate similar patterns of weaker language performance over time, including pragmatic language (Bonifacio et al, 2007;Girolametto, Wiigs, Smyth, Weitzman, & Pearce, 2001). It is also possible that when children adopted internationally are compared with a larger sample of children representing a range of SES levels as represented by standardized test norms, they perform within average range.…”

“…The analysis was performed using the maximum likelihood with robust standard errors estimation method implemented in Mplus Version 5.1 (Muthén & Muthén, 1998-2007. This modeling is based on the idea that the observed data can represent subpopulations (i.e., latent classes) that can be identified and their parameters estimated (Muthén & Shedden, 1999;Muthén, 2001).…”

“…Statistical fit information and substantive theory were used to decide the number of latent classes. The LPA resulted in a solution of six meaningful ECD groups that were clearly distinguishable both theoretically and based on estimates of their statistical quality, such as Entropy (.891) and Average Latent Class Posterior Probabilities (range .90-.99; Muthén & Muthén, 1998-2007.…”

“…a pragmatic language problem. However, the relationship between structural language skills and functional language in social communication has not been found to be straightforward (Bonifacio et al, 2007). This means that problems with peer interaction have to be addressed separately, and it cannot be taken for granted that they disappear as language structure develops.…”
