Supporting Language Development in Young Children of Parents in Recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study helps parents or caregivers with a history of substance use support their young child's language development through weekly community groups and optional one-on-one sessions. The goal is to help children ages 1–3 learn more words and start combining words earlier.
