Research summary
We would like to evaluate "Home Talk", a service for 2 year olds with delayed language development. We know that speech and language therapy for 2 year olds can be helpful. Home Talk is different to most early therapy services as it is delivered by an assistant worker not a speech and language therapist. We would like to know more about how much Home Talk helps children's language skills.
