What this paper is
This is a narrative review describing the Project ImPACT for Toddlers framework and its training model for speech-language pathologists. While it mentions preliminary pilot data, the article itself does not report a controlled trial with primary outcomes, randomization, or statistical analysis that would allow for a clinical summary of efficacy. There are no new findings to act on.
