New treatment option for Developmental Language Disorder
Official title Neuroimaging Reveals Treatment-related Changes in DLD
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05268341
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Children with developmental language disorders (DLD, aka specific language impairment), a prevalent pediatric disorder, experience hallmark grammar deficits with life-long impacts on educational and occupational outcomes. While effective and early interventions can mitigate the impact of DLD, not enough is known about the neural basis of DLD in young children, yet is needed to inform the design of more individualized interventions.
