Children with DLD in special
education show improvement in
language performance.
No differences in improvement
between:
•
Children with receptive
expressive disorders and
expressive disorders
•
Children with low and high IQs
•
Mono and multilingual children
Intervention is important for all
children with DLD.
Contact: gerda.bruinsma@hu.nlThere
is a paucity of information on
the effects of special education
provisions on the language skills of
children with DLD. Specifically , it is
unclear
1.
if (and how ) school based
intervention impacts various
language domains
2.
to what extent child
characteristics modulate
outcomes

Method
We traced the trajectory of 154
children with DLD at 18 schools for
special education that provide
systematic language oriented
interventions .
Mean age 4;10 at the start of the
study; range 3;11 5;7 yrs
