Therapy for Adverbial Clauses
The overall purpose of this project is to improve how 5 to 7 year old children who have trouble using language use complex sentences. The questions that this study is trying to answer are: Does this treatment help children use sentences with adverbial clauses (e.g., sentences with because, so that, when, until, etc.)? Do children maintain this learning over time?
研究概览
详细说明
This study will involve 5-7 year old children with Developmental Language Disorder. The study will teach complex sentences with adverbial clauses (e.g., sentences with conjunctions like because, so that, when, until, etc.). The study will involve an initial assessment of children's language skills. Children who qualify for the project will participate in 20 teletherapy treatment sessions across approximately 10 weeks. The treatment will involve listening to stories that include several sentences with adverbial clauses, and answering questions about the stories. Following the treatment, children will participate in post-treatment testing of their learning.
