Study Summary

This trial is examining how often and how long children with language impairment need speech-language intervention in order to make vocabulary gains.

Who is the study for?

What is being tested?

The study aims to find the best amount of speech-language therapy for kids with language issues. It tests if attending therapy once a week for longer sessions or four times a week for shorter sessions leads to better vocabulary learning over ten weeks.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in the word learning intervention.
