Comparing therapy approaches for toddlers with delays
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares different ways speech-language therapists work with toddlers who have developmental delays. It aims to find the best approach to help your child communicate better. Your child must be getting Early Intervention services in Illinois and have at least 7 months of eligibility left.
