Children with language impairments that have a receptive component (RLI) are at high risk of negative outcomes in language and behaviour. Furthermore, it has been found in a systematic review for the Cochrane Collaboration that there is little evidence for effective interventions for this population.
A systematic literature review was conducted to provide a synopsis of the best current evidence for the cognitive and linguistic impairments of children with RLI. Forty one papers were synthesized using a predominantly integrative narrative approach. Studies identified the following main areas of deficit: working memory, word learning, and grammar. The findings of the review allow a focused mapping of RLI impairments to theory driven interventions that target these. Results however should be interpreted cautiously due to the variable quality of evidence available in speech and language therapy behavioural studies.
The review was funded by the Underwood Trust. |
