Early Language and Communicative Abilities of Children with Periventricular Leukomalacia.

Feldman, Heidi M.; And Others

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v97 n2 p222-34 Sep 1992

Ten two-year-old children with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), a brain injury associated with prematurity, were evaluated using language samples. The five children with delayed cognitive ability produced significantly fewer lexical tokens and spontaneous verbal utterances than did chronological age-matched nondelayed PVL children. (Author/DB)
