Interesting info on preemie language/cognitive development

Some of you may know I'm a speech pathologist. My patients are typically 17-99 years old with neurological impairment, head/neck cancer, etc., but I have an interest in language development.

Anywho, I came across a little blurb in the ASHA Leader (the magazine put out by our accreditation association) about preemies in the NICU and their language/cognitive scores after certain levels of adult language exposure - NICU staff vs. parents. I took pics of it (it's a really short summary) but thought someone might find it interesting so I thought I'd share. Hopefully they post right.

    That's really cool! I'd like to think I had an impact on Ava during her time in the NICU! Thanks for sharing!

    So cool. My sister is an SLP, too! I'm not sure if my interest in this type of stuff is because of that or independent of it, but language development is so cool!
