TL;DR
The findings, showing such an early influence of SES on language outcome in a cohort matched for biomedical risk, suggest that very early language interventions may be especially important for low SES preterm toddlers.
Abstract
In this preterm cohort, by toddler age, M-Ins was associated with lower scores on measures of overall language as well as receptive and expressive language skills. Our findings, showing such an early influence of SES on language outcome in a cohort matched for biomedical risk, suggest that very early language interventions may be especially important for low SES preterm toddlers.

Child DevelopmentThe Specificity of Environmental Influence: Socioeconomic Status Affects Early Vocabulary Development Via Maternal Speech
2,342 Citations2003Erika Hoff
The hypothesis was tested that children whose families differ in socioeconomic status (SES) differ in their rates of productive vocabulary development because they have different language-learning experiences and properties of maternal speech that differed as a function of SES fully accounted for this difference.

ELBW infants are at significant risk of neurologic abnormalities, developmental delays, and functional delays at 18 to 22 months' corrected age, and factors significantly associated with decreased morbidity included increased birth weight, female gender, higher maternal education, and white race.
