Studies have shown that
grammar is foundational to a child’s communication and academic growth. SLPs who
work with children with development language disorders (DLD) – regardless of
the etiology of the disorder – need effective research-based grammar interventions
in their toolbox. The articles in this journal self-study (selected from a Language,
Speech, and Hearing Services in Schoolsforum, “Morphosyntax Assessment and
Intervention for Children”) describe evidence-based approaches for grammar
assessment and treatment and provide tools to support goal-setting and progress
monitoring. The articles discuss new approaches and practical implications for
practice.
