Many speech and language therapy (SLT) services have limited capacity for providing school-based input. Some offer commissioned SLT input, to enhance the service provided by the UK National Health Service (NHS), giving schools the option to increase the amount and scope of SLT intervention. This two-tiered model of service provision is relatively…

Davies, Karen E.; Marshall, Julie; Brown, Laura J. E.; Goldbart, Juliet – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2017
Speech and language therapists' (SLTs) roles include enabling parents to provide intervention. We know little about how parents understand their role during speech and language intervention or whether these change during involvement with SLTs. The theory of conceptual change, applied to parents as adult learners, is used as a framework for…

The innovative Language Environment Analysis (LENA) system has exciting potential for…

Newton, Caroline; Ridgway, Samuel – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2016

Schaefer, Blanca; Bowyer-Crane, Claudine; Herrmann, Frank; Fricke, Silke – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2016

This is largely due to the scarcity of standardized assessments in many children's home languages and missing normative data on multilingual language acquisition. A common approach is to translate existing English…

Extensive evidence exists that many children who experience early socio-economic disadvantage have delayed language development. These delays have been shown to exist when children start school and appear to persist through their education. Interventions that can help these children are desirable to ease the difficulties they have in school and to…
