New treatment option for Developmental Language Disorder
Official title Training Inner Speech in Children With Developmental Language Disorder
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06880731
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The complex and unclear relationship between language and executive function (EF) creates barriers to developing effective interventions for children with developmental language disorder (DLD) whose language difficulties often co-occur with impaired EF. Children and adults with typical language development (TD) facilitate their EF by using self-directed language, or verbal mediation, to guide conscious reflection and override habitual behaviors.
