Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to examine the effectiveness of a highly-structured parent-based language intervention group program for two-year-old children with language delay.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Language delay in toddlers is a prevalent problem for pediatric practitioners. As there are no clear guidelines to deal with this problem, in German speaking countries the "wait-and-see"approach is widely chosen, although longitudinal studies have found that children with language delay are at risc for cognitive, behavioral and social-emotional problems.

During the last few years various forms of early language intervention have been increasingly implemented in German speaking countries. However, they have not been evaluated.

Early parent-based intervention could be an economical way in prevention speech and language disorders.

1

The mothers of the two-years old children in the intervention group took part at the Heidelberg Parent-based Language Intervention HPLI

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Heidelberg Parent-based Language Intervention HPLI

Intervention Type OTHER

The HPLI is a group program for parents of young children with language delay. This 12-14week program includes seven two-our sessions and one three-our session six months later. It is designed for 5 to 10 people and based of an interactive model of language intervention, wich presumes that optimized parental input will provide better language-learning opportunities.

2

Waiting group, no intervention until children were three years of age

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
