Longitudinal Influence of Family Environment on Language Outcomes of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children
Families that emphasize intellectual-cultural environments had DHH and TH children with better language skills 1 year later, whereas those that deemphasized competition and perfection had DHH children with better language skills 1 year later. These findings highlight the importance of family environment and dynamics in contributing to language development in all children, but particularly DHH children, who are at a heightened risk for language delays.
