Abstract
Both clinicians and researchers agree on the importance of supporting a socially relevant language use in children at risk for communication disorders. Although we have some information on best practices for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the evidence for children with developmental language disorder (DLD) is scarce. Even if there is a growing body of literature discussing the efficacy of speech and language interventions in preschool and school settings, these interventions have focused primarily on early literacy skills (including vo cabulary and discourse abilities) to prepare all children to enter school. Despite this lack of evidence in the literatur e, clinicians have developed skillful strategies to support and facilitate the development of other pragmatic skills such as conversation abilities. The purpose of this manuscript is to discuss the theo retical foundations of pragmatic interventions with children having DLD and to present an example of an intervention based on theoretical foundations and clinical experience.
