The objective of the study was to assess the effects of maternal factors (stress and maternal communicative effectiveness) and child factors (hearing loss and NICU stay) on words produced at 18 months for children with and without congenital hearing loss. Higher maternal stress, stay in the NICU and child HL were all associated with fewer words produced at 18-24ms. More optimal maternal atmosphere and control and directiveness quality during a play session were associated with more words produced. Increased maternal control and directiveness, however, during a play session were associated with fewer words produced. Both maternal and child factors contribute to number of words produced by children at 18-24 months.=0D=0A=0D=0ASpeakersBetty Vohr, MDLucille St Pierre BSJulie Jodoin-Krauzyk, MEd, MADeborah Topol, BARichard Tucker, BA =0D=0A=0D=0AWarren Alpert Medical School of Brown University =0D=0AWomen & Infants' Hospital =0D=0AProvidence, RI=0D=0A=0D=0AWebinar MaterialsPowerPoint Presentation [,320KB]Webinar Audio [,47,885KB]=0D=0A=0D=0AQuestions=0D=0A=0D=0APlease contact Karla Kmetz with questions about this webinar.=0D=0A PRIORITY:3 URL:http://www.aucd.org/template/event.cfm?event_id=1751&id=965 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
