Questionnaire LEESPQ in Romanian
Description
The LittlEars Early Speech Production auditory questionnaire (LEESPQ) was created and tested for the assessment of preverbal and early verbal auditory skills (0-18 months) in children with normal hearing. The questionnaire contains 27 yes/no questions that evaluate the reflexive behavior, crying, prelingual emotions and language of infants aged between 0-18 months. The total score that can be obtained is 27 points. The parents/legal guardians were instructed on how to complete the auditory questionnaire, answering "Yes" or "No" to the questions asked. Thus, if he observed a behavior described in the question, answers with "Yes", respectively "No", if he does not observe that behavior in the child. "Yes" answers get one point, while "No" answers get zero points. To maintain homogeneity among the participants, all parents/guardians were Romanian speakers, and the selected children had a similar auditory exposure. If the parents/guardians observed a certain behavior mentioned in the question, they were asked to answer "Yes" and "No" for the items in the test that were not observed in their child.
