Study Summary
This trial uses neuroimaging and behavioral methods to study the memory-language mechanisms that underlie grammar learning and impairment in children with developmental language disorders, in order to informing the design of more individualized interventions.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for preschoolers aged 4 to almost 6 with developmental language disorders affecting their grammar. They must speak only English, have normal hearing and vision (with correction), average nonverbal IQ, and no other interventions or special education for communication issues. Kids who can't safely undergo an MRI are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
'My Sentence Builder' is being tested in this study to see if it helps improve grammar in children with developmental language disorders. The research includes brain scans (neuroimaging) and behavior tests to understand how the treatment might cause changes in the brain related to language learning.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since 'My Sentence Builder' is a non-medical intervention focusing on language skills, there are no direct medical side effects expected from this treatment as typically associated with drug trials.
