Grammar Assessment and Intervention for Multiple Populations (PD102218)

Course Description


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.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

  • Discuss the importance of grammar treatment for children with DLD
  • Identify evidence-based assessment and treatment approaches for children with syntax and morphology difficulties
