Language Intervention for Bilingual Children with Developmental Language Disorder

This study is looking at how different language treatments affect bilingual children, aged 4-6, who have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). DLD is a condition that affects how children learn and use language. The study will use "sentence recast" therapy, where an adult repeats a child's words, correcting grammar. Researchers want to see if a child's existing language skills (in English or Spanish) influence how well they respond to treatment in one language or both. The goal is to find the best way to help these children improve their language skills and do well in school. The study plans to enroll 120 children, but its current status is unclear.
