Description of Study:

The purpose of this remote study is to compare different treatment strategies for developmental language disorder or DLD, and to find out more about teaching children complex sentences. Children complete a screening phase of 1-3 remote visits. Then eligible children complete an additional pretesting phase of up to 3 remote visits. Qualifying children receive 8-10 weeks of language support/intervention, and complete up to 3 post-testing visits.

Will participants be compensated for participation?
