Development of the children's communication checklist (CCC): a method for assessing qualitative aspects of communicative impairment in children
Article Abstract:
Children who have substantial problems in mastering language for no known reason are diagnosed as having significant language impairment (SLI). It has been difficult to achieve a consensus as to how SLI should be sub-classified however, though most professionals concerned with SLI would agree that children in this category are heterogeneous. A study was conducted to develop and evaluate a Children's Communication Checklist (CCC) for rating aspects of language impairment that are not adequately evaluated by conventional language tests. The results are discussed.

Nonword repetition as a behavioural marker for inherited language impairment: evidence from a twin study
Article Abstract:
The Children's Nonword Repetition Test (CNRep) is able to identify the phenotype of heritable forms of developmental language impairment. The CNRep was administered to 39 children with a history of persistent language impairment (LI), 13 children having resolved LI through speech therapy, and 79 control subjects. Results show that children with persistent and resolved LI are significantly impaired on the CNRep. A comparison of monozygotic and dizygotic twins shows that the CNRep deficit exhibits significant heritability.
