This study focused primarily on examining the role of caregivers in language development in both children with prenatal or perinatal brain injury (BI) and in children with typical development (TD). Previous research has shown that lesion characteristics played an important role on the adaptability of language development in children with BI. However, like TD children, children with BI tend to have easy compliance with language development. Many variables had to be taken into account to ensure that the experiment was controlled. Variables regarding the lesion such as its location. According to Eccles (2009) if a lesion is localized in the left or right hemisphere it can cause more marked linguistic deficits (91). Each deficiency might also differ in characteristics (size, type of lesion) changing a BI child's overall language ability. The smaller the lesion, the more susceptible the child is to early language growth, complicated vocabulary syntax and comprehension, the larger the lesion, the worse the child's condition. There was also the question of whether the c...
