Study Summary

This trial looks at if there is a link between trouble with words and trouble with learning patterns. It could help lead to earlier assessments and interventions for kids with language disorders.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 4-8 with developmental language disorder (DLD) or speech sound disorder (SSD), who have normal hearing and oral structures. They must not have autism, intellectual impairment, significant motor impairment, or a history of related disorders if they are typically developing.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the link between morphological and phonological deficits in children by assessing their sensitivity to semantic category cues and phonological rules. It aims to improve assessments and interventions for DLD.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions focusing on language patterns rather than drugs or medical procedures, there are no typical side effects like those associated with medications.

Answered by AI

Might I be a suitable candidate for participation in this clinical trial?

"This medical research is in search of 400 participants between the ages four and six who exhibit signs of speech sound disorder. The enrollment criteria entails children with DLD performing below 80% in their spontaneous production of finite verb morphemes, scoring beneath 87 on the Structured Photographic Expressive Language Test-P2 (SPELT-P2), below 70% for total phonemes correct across all nonword lengths on a nonword repetition task, and above 75 on the Nonverbal Scale of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC-II). To ensure precision in diagnosis, these 4 to 6 year olds will also complete a"
