Highlights

  • The rate of inprovement and it's predictive factors have been studied in 26 two year old children with expressive language disorder at the Departments of Pediatrics and Psychology, State University of New York at Stony Brook, and Department of Child Development and Family Relations, University of North Carolina-Greensboro

  • Three variables measured by the pretest evaluation could be used to predict inprovement within the five month period: 1) The size of the child's vocabulary with a cutoff score of 8; 2) whether the child was reported as eating regular meals; and 3) the extent that the child engaged in quiet "other" behaviors during the mother-child interaction

  • Expressive language delay is not self-correcting in a short term period of five months for many two year old children
