AIM: We evaluated the level of evidence of speech, language, and communication
interventions for infants at high-risk for, or with a diagnosis of, cerebral
palsy (CP) from 0 to 2 years old. METHOD: We performed a systematic review of
relevant terms. Articles were evaluated based on the level of methodological
quality and evidence according to A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation
(GRADE) guidelines. RESULTS: The search terms provided 17 publications consisting
of speech or language interventions. There were no interventions in the high
level of evidence category.
The overall level of evidence was very low. Promising
interventions included Responsivity and Prelinguistic Milieu Teaching and other
parent-infant transaction frameworks. INTERPRETATION: There are few
evidence-based interventions addressing speech, language, and communication needs
of infants and toddlers at high risk for CP, and none for infants diagnosed with
CP. Recommendation guidelines include parent-infant transaction programs.
