Traditionally, parent-reported measures like the Focus on the Outcomes of Communication Under Six (FOCUS) have successfully been used to evaluate children's communication experiences through proxy means. However, available tools like the Speech Participation and Activity Assessment of Children (SPAA-C) and drawings remain underutilised as ways of listening to children's voices. This study explored whether relationships existed between tools designed to gather information\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">about<\/jats:italic>\n                    the child (i.e. proxy measurement) and activities designed to capture information\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">with<\/jats:italic>\n                    the child. Parents of 37 typically developing 4- to 6-year-old Jamaican Creole (JamC)-Jamaican English (JamE)-speaking children completed the FOCUS in English only, in keeping with previous work in the Jamaican context. Children completed the SPAA-C and drawings in both languages. Pearson correlations were used to describe relationships between the FOCUS and the SPAA-C. Children's drawings were analysed for themes and SPAA-C responses were categorised as positive, neutral, or negative. A Fisher's Exact Test explored associations between themes in children's drawings and SPAA-C responses. No significant correlations were observed between FOCUS scores, which are proxy-based and scores on the SPAA-C, which directly gather children's responses about their communication experiences. However, statistically significant associations were observed between SPAA-C responses and themes coded in children's drawings. These findings highlight the importance of extending beyond traditional proxy means of informing young Jamaican children's communication experiences by listening to children's voices directly.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/02656590261461429","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]],"date-time":"2026-06-30T18:54:55Z","timestamp":1782845695000},"page":"343-361","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Listening to Jamaican preschoolers\u2019 voices: Exploring relationships between child- and proxy-based measures of communication experiences"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3622-5055","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarina","family":"Miletic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4862-6136","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lauren D","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-1264-312X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kereisha","family":"Biggs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-4296-5033","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicole BM","family":"Bazzocchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto"},{"name":"University of Toronto"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8261-6092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karla N","family":"Washington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto"},{"name":"University of Toronto"},{"name":"University Health Network"},{"name":"University of Cincinnati"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/feduc.2022.846111"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0044-1801814"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","volume-title":"Children draw talking: A comparison of preschoolers who are TD and those with DLD [Conference Presentation]","author":"Bazzocchi NBM","unstructured":"Bazzocchi NBM, Miletic K, Choi L, et al.
