Validation of the Language ENvironment Analysis in Swedish Children
The findings align with prior validation studies, indicating that LENA is suitable for use in a Swedish context, particularly for families with children aged 11-29 months. Nonetheless, additional validation studies are necessary, particularly focusing on younger infants, to enhance our understanding of the tool's reliability in preverbal children and their caregivers.
