Implementation science is a growing field of research, with much interest in how we can best translate interventions that have been shown to be effective in research into day-to-day clinical practice.
Evaluating these translated interventions is challenging because of the differences in outcome measures, sample sizes, and study designs.

Descriptions of the speech and language therapy interventions delivered across the trials in the systematic review were limited, making it difficult to translate effective interventions into the "real-world" context of clinical practice, consider fidelity to an intervention and compare between different interventions (Brady et al., 2012).
This lack of reporting may hinder efforts to successfully translate effective interventions into "real-world" practice.
