Study for Bilingual Children with Developmental Language Disorder
This study is looking at how to best help Spanish-English bilingual children, aged 4 to 6, who have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), a condition that affects language learning. Researchers are testing a treatment called "Sentence Recast" therapy. This therapy involves an adult repeating a child's sentence but correcting any grammar mistakes. The study aims to see if treating children in only one language (Spanish or English) or in both languages helps them improve their language skills. You might be able to join if your child has parent concerns about their language development or has received services in public schools, and meets specific language proficiency scores in either English or Spanish. The study will measure success by looking at how accurately children use grammar before, during, and after treatment. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 40 participants. It will compare different approaches to language therapy for bilingual children.
- What's involved
- Participants will have their grammar accuracy measured about one month before treatment, two weeks before the second part of treatment, and two weeks after treatment ends.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be assessed about two weeks after their treatment is completed.
