DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this research program is to elucidate the relationships between gesture and spoken language for children with hearing loss. For children with normal hearing, gesture use is predictive of later spoken language outcomes. Additionally, parental gesture use and parental responses to toddlers' gestures support children's linguistic outcomes. For children with hearing loss, the relationships between gesture and spoken language have been largely unexplored. An NIDCD working group identified the need for research on gesture development with this population. The aims of this longitudinal study are to: 1) determine whether the gestural abilities of toddlers with hearing loss predict unique variance in their later spoken language abilities, 2) ascertain the effects of maternal gesture use on the linguistic outcomes of toddlers with hearing loss, and 3) establish the influence of maternal responsiveness to gesture on the spoken language outcomes of toddlers with hearing loss. This work will result in translational findings regarding the value of utilizing gesture abilities to identify toddlers with hearing loss who are most at-risk for difficulties with linguistic achievement. Findings will also have a significant impact on how we counsel parents regarding the communication strategies that will best support their children's spoken language development.

描述（由申请人提供）：该研究计划的总体目标是阐明听力损失儿童的手势和口语之间的关系。对于有正常听力的儿童，手势使用可以预测以后的口语结果。此外，父母的手势和父母对幼儿手势的反应支持儿童的语言结果。对于有听力损失的儿童，手势和口语之间的关系在很大程度上尚未探索。 NIDCD工作组确定了对该人群进行手势发展的研究的必要性。这项纵向研究的目的是：1）确定具有听力损失的幼儿的手势能力是否可以预测其后来的口语能力的独特差异，2）确定使用母体手势的使用对幼儿的语言结果的影响以及听力损失的幼儿的语言结果，以及3）建立对口语对口语的影响对口语的影响。这项工作将导致有关利用价值的翻译发现 识别有听力损失的幼儿的手势能力，他们在遇到困难的最高危机 语言成就。调查结果还将对我们如何为父母提供有关最能支持孩子口语发展的沟通策略的咨询。
