Note. NLE = normal language emergence; PLD = persistent language delay; LLE = late language emergence. The reference category is: LLE. Exponentiating a regression coefficient (B) produces an odds ratio. Beta weights and their standard errors are presented for each predictor. Bold text indicates significant predictors at p < .05.
