There are few clinical measures to assess speech perception abilities in infants as they mature. Better measures are needed for decision-making regarding early intervention. This study focuses on auditory-perceptual development and the emergence of spoken language in the young hearing-impaired child.
Goal: develop and refine new behavioral assessment tools to measure speech perception in children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. Longitudinal and cross-sectional studies.

Children (HEI)Children (HEI)Aims include:
1) ascertain the extent to which assessment task contributes to variability on measures of speech perception,
2) measure changes in performance over time as a function of chronological age, assessment task, auditory status, and sensory assistance;
3) investigate the relationship between speech recognition and linguistic / cognitive variables in young developing children with hearing loss;
4) to describe and measure the contributions of maternal involvement to performance on tasks of language and speech perception in hearing-impaired young children, and to validate parent report as a tool for assessing language development.
