New treatment option for Developmental Language Disorder
Official title Using Neuroimaging and Behavioral Assessments to Understand Late Talking
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06156865
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Late talkers (LT), representing 10-20% of children under 3, demonstrate hallmark syntax and vocabulary deficits similar to preschoolers with developmental language disorder. While effective and early interventions can mitigate the impact of late talking, not enough is known about its neural basis, yet is needed to inform the design of more individualized interventions.
