is a paucity of information on
the effects of special education
provisions on the language skills of
children with DLD. Specifically , it is
unclear
1.
if (and how ) school based
intervention impacts various
language domains
2.
to what extent child
characteristics modulate
outcomes

Method
We traced the trajectory of 154
children with DLD at 18 schools for
special education that provide
systematic language oriented
interventions .
Mean age 4;10 at the start of the
study; range 3;11 5;7 yrs
