    Quality of interactions in ECE settings and mean length of utterances among 4-year-old neglected children : results from the ELLAN Study
    (Alpha Academic, 2021-01-06) Julien, Catherine; Sylvestre, Audette; Leblond, Jean; Bouchard, Caroline
    Language difficulties are frequently characterized by a significantly lower mean length of utterances (MLU) among children experiencing neglect. More opportunities to experience positive interactions, such as in early childhood education (ECE) settings, could help increase these children’s MLU. This study aims to examine the relationship between the quality of interactions within the group in ECE settings attended by children experiencing neglect and the presence of difficulties based on MLU (MLU-Ds). Eighteen (18) neglected (age = 48.26 months, standard deviation [SD] = 0.37) and 86 non-neglected children (age = 48.07 months, SD = 0.24) participated in this study. To estimate the prevalence of difficulties, the MLU of all the participants was measured using a language sample. The Classroom Assessment Scoring System Pre-K was used to measure the quality of interactions in ECE settings attended by children experiencing neglect. Behavior Management (p = .0072, adjusted R2 = .47) and Concept Development (p = .019, adjusted R2 = .15) are associated with the MLU of neglected children presenting MLU-Ds. Although not statistically significant, the results obtained for the dimension of Regard for Child Perspectives (p = .090, adjusted R2 = .12) raise relevant trends to examine. This study highlights specific dimensions of quality of interactions that are associated with language skills of children experiencing neglect. It also supports the need to continue studies to have a more comprehensive portrait of this association.

    Developmental trajectories of speech and language in neglected children aged 3 to 5 years : results of the ELLAN study
    (Elsevier, 2023-09-16) Sylvestre, Audette; Di Sante, Mélissa; Julien, Catherine; Bouchard, Caroline; Mérette, Chantal
    Background: Neglected children are at high risk for significant difficulties in speech and language development. Because no longitudinal study has been conducted to date, the dynamic description of development during the preschool period is unknown. Objectives: Establish the developmental trajectories of speech sounds, receptive and expressive vocabulary, and morphosyntax among neglected children during the preschool years and compare them with those of non-neglected children. Participants and setting: Participants are 69 neglected children and 99 same age non-neglected peers (37 and 46 males respectively) recruited at 36 months of age. Data were collected at home. Methods: Data were collected at six-month intervals between the ages of 3 and 5.5 years using psychometrically robust tools. Neglected and control groups were compared according to age using repeated measures ANOVAs on all variables. A discrete mixture model for clustering lon- gitudinal data was used for testing the heterogeneity of the language trajectories among neglected children. Results: The language development of the neglected children as a whole group is lower than that of the control group for all variables. Two subgroups are identified within the neglected group: one with a developmental trajectory similar to that of the non-neglected children, and another whose trajectory is far below that of the control group. The effect sizes of these differences vary between 1.4 and 3 standard deviations under the mean. Conclusions: A large proportion of neglected children present significant speech and language difficulties from the age of 3, but some of them catch up and develop similarly to non-neglected children.

    Morphosyntactic development and severe parental neglect in 4-year-old French-speaking children : ELLAN Study
    (Sage, 2019-03-03) Julien, Catherine; Sylvestre, Audette; Leblond, Jean; Bouchard, Caroline
    Language is the most frequently compromised area of development in English-speaking neglected children, particularly the morphosyntactic component of language. This is very worrisome given its central role in academic success and social participation. No previous study has examined the morphosyntactic skills of French-speaking neglected children, despite the morphological richness of French. This study aimed to fill this gap. Forty-four neglected (mean age = 48.32 months, SD = 0.45) and 92 non-neglected (mean age = 48.07 months, SD = 0.24) French-speaking children participated. Measures of morphosyntactic skills were derived from a sample of spontaneous language collected during standardized semistructured play and analyzed using Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts software (2012) . Four morphosyntactic indicators were compared using analyses of variance and Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests: the mean length of utterances (MLU), verbal inflections, word-level errors, and omission errors. The results indicate that 25.6% of the neglected children presented clinically significant morphosyntactic difficulties, as evidenced by a significantly shorter MLU (M = 5.60, SD = 1.13; M = 6.90, SD = 1.30), fewer verbal inflections, and more frequent word omission errors compared to their non-neglected peers. The results confirm that French-speaking neglected children present many morphosyntactic difficulties. This study argues for sustained speech–language services for these children.
