'Better Conversations With Developmental Language Disorder': Designing a Novel Intervention for School-Aged Children and Their Main Carers.

WHAT IT FOUND

What this paper is

This is a Phase I intervention development paper. It describes how the authors built 'Better Conversations with Developmental Language Disorder', a conversation-based intervention for 6-8 year old children with DLD and their main carers, using interviews with children, parents and teachers, clinician advisory input, a literature review, behaviour-change theory and a logic model, and it sets out the final six-session protocol. It reports no outcomes. The only data are the design consultations and a pilot run with two mother-child dyads that produced minor changes to session content; the authors state that results from an initial evaluation are published separately. There is nothing here that tells you whether the intervention works, so there is no finding to act on.
