Pre-school education has been greatly expanded in the United Kingdom in the last two decades and further expansion is planned.

Ten children with SLI, ages 8 to 12 years, completed a 25-session training of visuospatial working memory, inhibition and cognitive flexibility over a 6-week period. Treatment outcome was…

Ijalba, Elizabeth – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2015
Few studies explore parent-implemented literacy interventions in the home language for young children with problems in language acquisition. A shift in children's use of the home language to English has been documented when English is the only language of instruction. When parents are not proficient in English, such language shift can limit…
