LEESPQ Dataset of Early Speech Production in Romanian Children With Cochlear Implants

This dataset contains anonymized responses to the 27-item <i>LittlEars Early Speech Production Questionnaire (LEESPQ)</i> collected from Romanian children with cochlear implants. The LEESPQ assesses preverbal and early verbal auditory behaviors (0–18 months) using yes/no parental reports, with total scores ranging from 0 to 27. All parents were native Romanian speakers, ensuring consistent linguistic exposure. The dataset includes demographics, implantation details, item-level LEESPQ responses, and total scores. Data are fully anonymized and were used in the associated study on early speech production outcomes after cochlear implantation.<br>The dataset includes:Demographic information (e.g., age at testing, sex)Implantation-related variables (e.g., age at implantation, device information where applicable)LEESPQ item-level responses (27 binary items)Total LEESPQ score
