“…Moreover, a study has revealed that there is a direct association between the level of family income and the quality of early child care, which significantly influences the child's speech and language development in later years [ 44 ]. However, unlike previous studies [ 11 , 45 – 47 ], the present study could not demonstrate any statistical association between SLD and the socioeconomic status of the family.…”

Background Speech and language delay among children can result in social interaction problems, attention difficulties, decreased writing and reading abilities, and poor cognitive and behavioral development. Despite the mounting prevalence of speech and language delays in Ethiopia, there is a lack of literature addressing the factors contributing to this delay. Consequently, this study aims to identify determinants of speech and language delay among children aged 12 months to 12 years at Yekatit 12 Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods We conducted an institutional-based at Yekatit 12 Hospital, unmatched case–control study with 50 cases and 100 controls aged 12 months to 12 years. Interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from the parents or caregivers of the participating children. Epi Info v7 was used for sample calculation, and SPSS v26 was used for analysis. The chi-square test was performed to determine the relationship between speech and language delay and determining factors, which was then followed by logistic regression. The significant determining factors were identified based on the adjusted odds ratio (AOR), with a 95% CI and p-value (< 0.05). Results Case group constituted 23 males and 27 females, totaling 50 children. Upon completing the multivariate analysis, birth asphyxia [AOR = 4.58, 95CI (1.23–16.99)], bottle-feeding [AOR = 4.54, 95CI (1.29–16.04)], mother–child separation [AOR = 2.6, 95CI (1.05–6.43)], multilingual family [AOR = 2.31, 95CI (1.03–5.18)], and screen time greater than two hours [AOR = 3.06, 95CI (1.29–7.28)] were found to be statistically significant determinants of speech and language delay. Conclusions Our study found that birth asphyxia, bottle-feeding, mother–child separation, being from a multilingual family, and excessive screen time contribute significantly to speech and language delay. As a result, it is important to develop interventions that target these modifiable factors, while also ensuring that early diagnosis and treatment options are readily accessible.

“…Our results revealed that NBW children performed significantly better than their VLBW/ELBW counterparts on all IDS subtests evaluated. These findings are consistent with those previously reported in the medical literature and include differences in selective attention, perceptual-motor skills, visual motor skills [ 9 , 11 , 19 , 20 ], memory (phonology, auditory, visual-spatial) [ 21 , 45 ], and language development [ 12 , 21 , 22 , 24 ]. We also found that NBW children performed significantly better than VLBW/ELBW children on subtests of affect recognition.…”

“…Impaired attention, memory, perceptual-motor skills, and visual-motor skills are among the deficits that are most frequently reported in studies of cognitive development of VLBW/ELBW children [ 9 , 11 , 18 – 20 ]. Speech and language disabilities or delays (both receptive and expressive) have also been reported [ 12 , 21 – 25 ]. Impairment has also been reported in the areas that include executive functions [ 7 , 26 – 28 ].…”

Cognitive and Socioemotional Development at 5 and 9 Years of Age of Children Born with Very Low Birth Weight and Extremely Low Birth Weight in the Czech Republic

Background There is a high prevalence of cognitive and socioemotional dysfunction in very low birth weight (VLBW <1500 g) and extremely low birth weight (ELBW <1000 g) children. This study from the Czech Republic aimed to compare the cognitive and socioemotional development at 5 and 9 years of age of children born with VLBW/ELBW with children born with normal birth weight (NBW ≥2500 g). Material/Methods The clinical group consisted of 118 VLBW/ELBW children and the control group consisted of 101 children with NBW at ages 5 to 9 years. The research battery included selected subscales from the Intelligence and Development Scales (IDS), A Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment – second edition (NEPSY-II), and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF). Data were analyzed using STATA IC v. 15 software and G*Power (descriptive statistic, analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlations, multivariate analysis of variance – MANOVA, post hoc power analysis). Results We found a statistically significant difference in cognitive and socioemotional development between children with VLBW/ELBW and those with NBW. The average intelligence quotient (IQ) of VLBW/ELBW children was 96.38, while that of NBW children was 12.98 points higher ( P <0.001). NBW children achieved better results on all subtests of the IDS ( P <0.001) as well as in affect recognition ( P <0.001). All results for both groups were within normal range. Parents of VLBW/ELBW children did not recognize impaired executive functioning ( P =0.494). Conclusions This study has shown significant cognitive and socioemotional deficit in children born with VLBW and ELBW when evaluated at 5 and 9 years of age.

“…The results of the current study confirm the overlap, with 26 (38.8%) children with RWD with a history of speech and language difficulties. The number of children with low birth weight, although not higher than the national low birth weight rate, and a prolonged hospital stay after birth in the study also highlight the commonalities between birth and early medical conditions and the risk of developing language delays and RWD during school years (Debata et al, 2019;Squarza et al, 2016).…”

Reading and writing difficulties (RWD) in learners pose significant challenges not just for children but also for parents. While there is limited support available for children with RWD and their parents in Mauritian schools, research may reveal areas of parental need that speech-language therapists may address. The aim was to determine parents’ perspectives regarding their Grade 4 children with RWD in mainstream government schools in Mauritius. Teachers identified children with RWD with the Screening Tool for Learning Disorder, and parents were requested to participate in the study. Sixty-seven parents completed a questionnaire investigating their perspectives on the symptoms and causes of their child’s RWD and the ways in which they assist their child. The screening tool differentiated between children at risk of specific learning disorder (SLD) and children who indicated clear symptoms of SLD. The results of the tool did not correspond closely with the participants’ satisfaction with their child’s academic performance. The majority of participants could, however, identify RWD in their children when descriptions were given. Parents mostly cited laziness as the main cause of their child’s RWD. The results showed that participants had limited information about the causes and symptoms of RWD and SLD. There is a lack of awareness about the role of speech-language therapists in the intervention of RWD. There are limited resources and support for children with RWD, despite an inclusive education policy in Mauritius. Speech-language therapists and teachers should collaborate to support children with RWD and their parents using inclusive education strategies.
