Parental Perceptions Of Their Child's Speech And Language Development, Jana M. Keasler
Honors Theses
This thesis discusses parental knowledge of their child's speech and language development. To assess this topic, a survey was administered to 104 parents of preschool children in Arkadelphia, AR. The survey asked general questions concerning speech and language development in children .
