“…However, the 4-month delay between the 2 groups seems too short, and a comparison of the results would have required another delay after treatment had been finished in both groups. Sommers et al [67] investigated schoolchildren who had already passed the critical age period. Tschirner et al [68] only provide a graphical subgroup analysis of age and therapy setting without any statistical analysis.…”

Objective: The study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a systematic population-based screening programme for specific language impairment (SLI) in preschool children in Germany. Methods: The study question was divided into a review of (1) evidence from studies evaluating screening programmes, (2) diagnostic instruments in the German language, and (3) studies evaluating speech and language interventions. A systematic database search was conducted between June and October 2007 and was updated in January and again in May 2008. Relevant studies were identified by 2 independent reviewers based on screened titles/abstracts and full texts. Results: 4,806 studies were screened. The only existing controlled screening study did not provide data for SLI. No diagnostic study met the inclusion criteria. Sixteen randomized intervention studies were included, 3 studies contributed to the appraisal of earlier against later initiation of treatment. Most studies were of limited quality. We found indications of short-term positive effects from language therapies in children with SLI. Long-term outcomes were not investigated. No evidence supporting the advantage of earlier treatment initiation was identified. Conclusions: The benefit of population-based language screening of preschool children with SLI is not proven. Controlled screening studies are therefore necessary. For Germany, the accuracy of existing diagnostic instruments has not yet been sufficiently examined.

“…Initial efforts focused on the control of speech fluency (Brookshire & Martin, 1967;Brutten & Shoemaker, 1967;Curlee & Perkins, 1968;Flanagan, Goldiamond, & Azrin, 1958;Meyer, 1963;Siegel & Martin, 1965a, 1965b. Subsequent works described the application of behavioral treatments to a variety of speech and language disorders, including impairments of articulation (Baily, Timbers, Phillips, & Wolf,1971;McReynolds, 1966;Mann & Baer, 1971;Sommers, et al, 1966), voice (Shriberg, 1971), and receptive and expressive language (Baer & Guess, 1971;Clark & Sherman, 1975;Kircher, Pear, & Martin, 1971;Lahey, 1971;Sailor, 1971;Sailor & Tackman, 1972;Schumaker & Sherman, 1970;Spindler, 1970;Wheeler & Sulzer, 1970). By the 1970s, ABA was widely accepted as a valued treatment paradigm in the field of speech-language pathology.…”

Effective communication instruction has drawn heavily from applied behavior analysis (ABA). Although intervention practices have evolved over time, technologies developed through the adherence to ABA principles and techniques continue to flourish. This article examines ABA-based communication instruction for persons with autism by providing a historical context for ABA as an instructional methodology and by reviewing ABA-related treatment options.

“…Nine studies combined more than one eligible intervention versus control intervention (Fey 1993; Gibbard 1994b; Lancaster 1991; Law 1999; Shelton 1978; Sommers 1964; Sommers 1966; Sommers 1962; Tufts 1959). With the exception of Shelton (1978), all of these studies compared clinician intervention with parent intervention or additional parental intervention.…”

The aim of this Campbell systematic review is to examine the effectiveness of speech and language interventions for children with primary speech and language delay/disorder. Thirty‐six studies were found, based on a total of 1,500 children involved in thirty‐three randomised controlled trials. This Review concludes, on the basis of the available international studies in this field, that speech and language therapy generally has a positive effect on children with expressive phonological difficulties. The therapy also helps children who have a problem with their active vocabulary, i.e. children who have difficulty in using words they understand. Children, who have difficulty with active vocabulary alone, but no problem understanding and acquiring language, also benefit from speech and language therapy. Speech and language therapy for children who have difficulty in applying grammar and constructing sentences is, however, only thought to have a positive effect if the child does not have other significant receptive speech and language difficulties. Synopsis Primary speech and language delay/disorder is a common developmental difficulty which, if unresolved, can cause difficulties of both learning and socialisation lasting into adolescence and beyond. This review examines the effectiveness of speech and language therapy interventions for children with primary speech and language delay/disorder. The review concludes that whilst there may be some support for the effectiveness of speech and language therapy for children with expressive phonological and expressive vocabulary difficulties, the evidence concerning the effectiveness of interventions for expressive syntax is mixed, and no evidence is available concerning interventions for children with receptive language difficulties. Abstract BackgroundIt is thought that approximately 6% of children have speech and language difficulties of which the majority will not have any other significant developmental difficulties. Whilst most children's difficulties resolve, children whose difficulties persist into primary school may have long‐term problems concerning literacy, socialisation, behaviour and school attainment. ObjectivesTo examine the effectiveness of speech and language interventions for children with primary speech and language delay/disorder. Search strategyThe following databases were searched: The Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (Cochrane Library, CENTRAL: 2002/3), CINAHL (1982 – July 2002), EMBASE (1980 – Sept Week 4 2002), ERIC (1965 – 2002), MEDLINE (1966 – Sept Week 3 2002), PsycINFO (1872 – 2002/10 Week 2), The National Research Register (2002/3). In addition to this references were taken from reviews of the literature and reference lists from articles. Selection criteriaThe review considered randomised controlled trials of speech and language therapy interventions for children or adolescents with primary speech and language delay/disorder. Data collection & analysisTitles and abstracts were identified and assessed for relevance, before the full text versi...
