This is a longitudinal study of SLI children conducted at the University of California, San Diego in the 1980s. The transcripts were reformatted into CHAT by Aviya Hacohen at Ben-Gurion University in the early 2000's.
Children were broken into three groups: Group A expressive six months better than receptive, Group B receptive and expressive at least one year behind chronological age. Group C children were normal controls. Children were screened with Leiter, a neurological exam, an oral motor and sensory exam, and a hearing test. Group A and B are matched on sex, age, IQ, SES.
