Speech and Language Development after Infant Tracheostomy.

Hill, Betsy P.; Singer, Lynn T.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v55 n1 p15-20 Feb 1990

When assessed for speech/language development, 31 children (age 1-12) fitted with endotracheal tubes for more than 3 months beginning by age 13 months showed overall language functioning within normal limits and commensurate with cognitive ability. However, a pattern of expressive language disability was noted in the oldest group. (Author/JDD)
