Language Skills in Adults With and Without DLD
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how language skills change over time in adults ages 30–35, by comparing people with Developmental Language Disorder (a lifelong difficulty with language) to those with typical language skills. Participants must have been in an earlier University of Iowa study to join.
