This study examined 300 children aged 24-35 months to clarify expressive vocabulary development using the vocabulary checklist questionnaire. Children were classified into 4 periods: first period, 24-26 months; second period, 27-29 months; third period, 30-32 months; and fourth period, 33-35 months. We analyzed median and quartiles of expressive vocabulary and performed one-way analysis of variance to determine which periods differed significantly from other periods. As a result, median total expressive vocabulary was 238.0 in the first period, 423.0 in the second period, 508.0 in the third period, and 661.0 in the fourth period. A clear correlation was seen between total expressive vocabulary, noun vocabulary, verb vocabulary, adjective vocabulary and child age. No significant difference in total expressive vocabulary was evident between second and third periods. These results indicate an incubation period in which the expressive vocabulary is invariable. A significant difference was apparent between the second and third periods in the verb vocabulary, suggesting a qualitative change in the expressive vocabulary. However, the term of increasing verb vocabulary was shorter than that for the noun vocabulary, which previous studies have reported in children aged 18-30 months.

Infant health screenings are offered as part of public child health services all over Japan. However, there are regional differences in the contents of health screenings. Here, the problems with the current health screening system are discussed by presenting two children with developmental disorders who went undetected, despite exhibiting low birth weight. The results suggest that the current health screening system is flawed, as screened items and methods allow children with some developmental disorders to be overlooked. Other problems included poor assessment perspectives and no follow-up procedures after consultation. Extreme low birth weight is a type of developmental disorder that can be corrected with early therapy. Because one of the objectives of infant health screenings is early detection and therapy for children with disabilities, it is necessary to identify and monitor children who may have disorders. When taking into account the necessity of early detection and therapy for childhood disorders, and the importance of follow-up visits after screenings, it is necessary for speech therapists to be actively involved.

Here we present the case of a child who visited the university with the chief complaint of dysarthria. He initially suffered from dysarthria and mild mental retardation, but later developed serious problems with reading and writing. We considered his phonological processing ability and a possible connection with developmental dyslexia. The child was a 7-year-old boy who was in second grade at a regular elementary school. At 5 years of age, he was diagnosed with a submucous cleft palate and underwent surgery to correct this. After surgery, he was evaluated and started receiving training. He was diagnosed with language delay due to mild mental retardation and dysgraphia accompanying underdeveloped dysarthria, and received 7 months of ST training. In the re-evaluation that followed his training, he was not seen to have general mental retardation, but his problems with reading and writing became apparent. Cross-examining his problems reading and writing with a triangle model and visual cognition processes suggested a problem with bilateral processing of writing and phonology. This was a decoding problem, which is the basic condition of a patient with developmental dyslexia. The boy's core problem thus appeared to be a phonological type of developmental dyslexia.
