Speech and Language Interventions

In this review of literature, authors examined the effects of speech and language impairments and how to correct them. 15 studies were review that compared when interventions should be implemented, what the best types of interventions are and how speech and language impairments affected children\u27s development. The overall question is, How do interventions assist in correcting speech and language impairments? In order to answer this question, the questions, What are speech and language impairments? Do speech and language impairments affect children\u27s psychological attitude? Do speech and language impairments affect children\u27s behavior? Do speech and language impairments affect children\u27s ability to learn? How are children with speech and language impairments viewed in society? What types of interventions are available? When should interventions begin? What are the most effective types of interventions? How much therapy is necessary to make an improvement? and How do children with language impairments compare to children without impairments? must be addressed. Future research to further develop this theory include: comparison of children\u27s ages and development of children with speech and language impairments, and comparison of social and economic background and the development of speech and language
