Speech and grammar training study for kids with language disorder
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how children with developmental language disorder understand and produce parts of speech, especially verb endings and grammar patterns. It may help researchers develop better ways to support communication in kids who struggle with language.
