Language Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
AMALS: Addressing Multiple Aspects of Language Simultaneously: A Randomized Clinical Trial
The goal of this proposal is to examine the efficacy of a manualized treatment intervention,
AMALS: Addressing Multiple Aspects of Language Simultaneously, which is designed to
remediate semantic, morphological, and syntactic aspects of language in preschool children
with language impairment. This study will target preschool children with language impairment
living in a region characterized by nonmainstream dialects.
Questions driving this work are:
1. Will children participating in the AMALS treatment exhibit greater semantic,
morphological, and syntactic complexity on multiple outcome measures at the completion
of the intervention compared to a Discrete Trial Approach (DTA) group?
2. Will these gains be maintained at one-month follow up?
3. What is the impact of dialect on dependent variables, specifically morphosyntactic
abilities?
To answer these questions a randomized clinical trial will be conducted comparing AMALS, an
integrated approach to treatment, with DTA, an additive approach to therapy. In this study
rather than restrict the ethnic and cultural backgrounds of this population, children's use
of dialect will be uniquely identified and examined.
