I would also be interested in your research.  My 15 month old has CP and is
speech delayed.  We're working with an Infant Stim specialist on pre-speech
skills - making faces, blowing, and a smattering of ASL.  My son seems to
have a good understanding of other people's speech, and is very good at
imitating vowel sounds.  I'd be happy to correspond with you.
