Characteristics of Speech Rate in Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Longitudinal Study

Conclusions There were no significant age-related differences in speech rate in children with CP regardless of group membership. Sentence length differentially impacted speech rate and its characteristics in both groups of children with CP. This may be due to cognitive –linguistic and/or speech motor control factors.
