Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study further aims to provide a interventional resource pack for bilingual population who has Urdu as their first and dominant language. There is no therapeutic tool available for intervention that has incorporated multimodal sensory input for language intervention. Since tools developed internationally and from other countries cannot be incorporated due to cultural sensitivity and linguistic complexity, therefore, the current study will be able to incorporate these limitations. This study will provide a novel resource for intervention in the context of Pakistan.
