Oral language comprehension interventions in school-age children and adolescents with developmental language disorder: A systematic scoping review

In the interventions intended for school-age children and adolescents with DLD, three intervention foci were identified that targeted aspects of language and language processing, as well as modifying the communicative environment.

Oral language comprehension interventions in 1–8-year-old children with language disorders or difficulties: A systematic scoping review

The results suggest that young children’s oral language comprehension skills can be improved by guiding parents and clinicians in their communication strategies, and by clinician-implemented interventions targeting aspects of the child's language.

Improving comprehension in adolescents with severe receptive language impairments: a randomized control trial of intervention for coordinating conjunctions.

Four hours of Shape Coding therapy led to significant gains on comprehension of coordinating conjunctions which were maintained after 4 months, and this approach could be offered to other children with similar difficulties to the participants.

The relationship between direct or indirect therapy and language profiles in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) across European countries

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to investigate 1) whether country categories and type of DLD predict the type of therapy (direct, indirect, and mixed) the child receives, and 2) whether there is an…

Early Identification of Developmental Language Delay

The GLS was better than the VTO-LSI-3-year in identifying children with language delay and was better in detecting receptive language concerns, suggesting it may serve as a reliable screening tool, especially for children with receptive problems.

Dimensionality of Speech-Language Pathologists' Child-Directed Talk During School-Based Therapy With Primary-Grade Students.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the measurement structure of the linguistic features of speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) talk during business-as-usual therapy sessions in the…

Efficacy of Interventions Targeting Language Comprehension

A systematic scoping review of literature on oral language comprehension interventions for school-age children and adolescents between 5 and 17 years of age with DLD found a limited number of studies in general and a very small number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Randomised controlled trial of community based speech and language therapy in preschool children

This study provides little evidence for the effectiveness of speech and language therapy compared with watchful waiting over 12 months, and service providers should reconsider the appropriateness, timing, nature, and intensity of such therapy in preschool children.

Intervention in this age group can be effective for expressive language and can be delivered equally effectively though speech and language therapy assistants and to children in groups.

Mapping practice onto theory: the speech and language practitioner's construction of receptive language impairment.

The relationship between the reported practice of speech and language practitioners and the underlying rationales for the therapy that they provide is explored, finding that theories of therapy may develop relatively independent of theories of deficit.

Comparisons of their effectiveness in specific areas led to the hypotheses that the pupils' initial difficulties with linking resulted from ill-defined semantic representations, whereas their limited use of arguments may have resulted from syntactic difficulties.
