“…53 Study sizes ranged from 25 subjects 54 to 2590 subjects. 11 Testing was conducted in general health clinics, specialty clinics, day care centers, schools, and homes by pediatricians, nurses, speech and language specialists, psychologists, health visitors, medical or graduate students, teachers, parents, and research assistants. Studies are summarized below by age categories according to the youngest ages included, although many studies included children in overlapping age categories.…”

“…A recent Cochrane review summarized prevalence data on speech delay, language delay, and combined delay in preschool-and school-aged children. 9 For preschool-aged children, 2 to 4.5 years old, studies that evaluated combined speech and language delay have reported prevalence rates ranging from 5% to 8%, 10,11 and studies of language delay have reported prevalence rates ranging from 2.3% to 19%. 9,[12][13][14][15] Untreated speech and language delay in preschool children has shown variable persistence rates (from 0% to 100%), with most studies reporting 40% to 60%.…”

Screening for Speech and Language Delay in Preschool Children: Systematic Evidence Review for the US Preventive Services Task Force

et al. 2006

BACKGROUND. Speech and language development is a useful indicator of a child's overall development and cognitive ability and is related to school success. Identification of children at risk for developmental delay or related problems may lead to intervention services and family assistance at a young age, when the chances for improvement are best. However, optimal methods for screening for speech and language delay have not been identified, and screening is practiced inconsistently in primary care.

Screening for Speech and Language Delay in Children 5 Years Old and Younger: A Systematic Review

et al. 2015

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: No recommendation exists for or against routine use of brief, formal screening instruments in primary care to detect speech and language delay in children through 5 years of age. This review aimed to update the evidence on screening and treating children for speech and language since the 2006 US Preventive Services Task Force systematic review.METHODS: Medline, the Cochrane Library, PsycInfo, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, ClinicalTrials.gov, and reference lists. We included studies reporting diagnostic accuracy of screening tools and randomized controlled trials reporting benefits and harms of treatment of speech and language. Two independent reviewers extracted data, checked accuracy, and assigned quality ratings using predefined criteria. RESULTS:We found no evidence for the impact of screening on speech and language outcomes. In 23 studies evaluating the accuracy of screening tools, sensitivity ranged between 50% and 94%, and specificity ranged between 45% and 96%. Twelve treatment studies improved various outcomes in language, articulation, and stuttering; little evidence emerged for interventions improving other outcomes or for adverse effects of treatment. Risk factors associated with speech and language delay were male gender, family history, and low parental education. A limitation of this review is the lack of well-designed, well-conducted studies addressing whether screening for speech and language delay or disorders improves outcomes.CONCLUSIONS: Several screening tools can accurately identify children for diagnostic evaluations and interventions, but evidence is inadequate regarding applicability in primary care settings. Some treatments for young children identified with speech and language delays and disorders may be effective.

We investigated health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of children with language problems and controls. Data on language development (Language Screening Instrument 3-years-olds, Van Wiechen items) and HRQOL by means of the TNO-AZL Pre-school children Quality of Life-questionnaire (TAPQOL) were collected at age 3 in a population-based cohort by parental questionnaire (n = 8877, response 78%; mean age 39.1 months (SD 2.0), 4347 were girls). Cronbach's alpha (internal consistency) ranged between 0.63 and 0.85. Dependent on the definition of language problem, 131 to 316 children appeared to be language impaired. Receiver Operating Characteristic analyses (ROC-curves) to assess the discriminative ability of six TAPQOL scales revealed that the Communication scale and Social Functioning scale discriminated best between children with language problems and children without these problems. Language-impaired children had significantly lower scores on the Communication scale and Social Functioning scale as compared to children without language problems (p < 0.01). The findings indicate that language problems at age three can have an impact on children's social life. These results provide additional evidence for the importance of monitoring the language development and its consequences during childhood.
