Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a psycholinguistic therapy programme designed to address expressive language disorder in children with complex receptive and expressive language difficulties. The two subjects were aged 6.03 and 9.09 years and attended a language unit in a mainstream school. Language samples from each subject were obtained using formal tests. These were analysed to provide a baseline. Subjects then carried out a therapy programme designed using principles of a psycholinguistic model of sentence production. Assessments were repeated to determine whether therapy had been effective. Results indicated that subjects had made significant progress in the structure and content of their expressive language.
