What is it about?
Preschool children with developmental language disorders were treated in either group or individual treatment settings using the Enhanced Conversational Recast procedures. Enhanced Conversational Recast involves clinician immediate restatements of children's use of a grammatical form targeted for treatment. Furthermore, clinicians insure that children hear their target morpheme in highly varied linguistic targets and work to ensure the child's attention at the time the clinician is providing this input to the child. The findings demonstrate that learning can occur in either setting, when the treatment is delivered with high fidelity. However, children do not receive benefit from hearing recasts directed to another member of their group, despite the fact that these other-directed recasts occurred as frequently as those directed to the child. This indicates that treatment directed to a child who is cued to attend is not the same as treatment that simply happens in the child's presence.
