  • Developmental Psychology
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Language and learning disabilities affect a significant portion of the child population.
  • Effective interventions are crucial for improving outcomes in affected children.
  • Previous research indicates variability in intervention effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively assess the overall effectiveness of language intervention for children with language/learning disabilities.
  • To identify specific subject and treatment characteristics influencing intervention outcomes.
  • To provide evidence-based insights for clinical practice and future research.

Main Methods:

  • A meta-analytic procedure was employed to synthesize data from 43 relevant studies.

  • Studies were systematically coded and analyzed based on design, subject characteristics, and treatment parameters.
  • Effect sizes (ES) were calculated to quantify the magnitude of intervention effects.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant mean effect size (ES) of 1.041 was observed, indicating substantial positive impact.
    • Language intervention moved the average language-disordered child from the 50th to the 85th percentile in language skills.
    • Significant differences in effect sizes were found based on specific subject and treatment characteristics (p < .05).

    Conclusions:

    • Language intervention is highly effective for children with language/learning disabilities.
    • Understanding subject and treatment variables is key to optimizing intervention strategies.
    • The findings support the widespread implementation of evidence-based language interventions.
