To do this, we compared performance in various syntactic measures in three groups of children aged between 7 years and 6 months and 9 years [control group, n = 33; deprived group, n = 34; specific language impairment (SLI) group, n = 27].
The present study investigated visual check back in two age groups of typically developed children and one group of children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI, n = 10).
Only 8% of the children in the intervention group versus 26% in the waiting group met the criteria for specific language impairment (t score ⩽35).
Neil Carberry, employment and skills director at the CBI, the business lobby group, adds that even more specific language courses, taught as part of an apprenticeship or vocational course, could also help prepare young people for the needs of the economy.
