Vocal Development Landmarks Assessment
Description of Study
Infants make many sounds before they say their first words. Vocal development refers to the process of forming speech sounds and words. These are important vocal milestones during the first years of life. It can be challenging to assess these skills. That is why the Boys Town National Research Hospital and ºÚÁÏÍø are working together to create a tool called the Vocal Development Landmark Assessment (VDLA) to assess infant vocal development.
