Description
About one in ten babies are born prematurely in the United States as of 2022 (CDC, 2024). This review of the literature revealed that researchers have adequately supported the conclusion that language development is frequently affected in this population of children. Despite the relatively high incidence of pre-term birth and its associated effects on language development, research regarding the causation of these language impairments and effective treatment strategies remains as an emerging topic of study. Additionally, there are coexisting factors related to this population that professionals should consider when providing services.
