Speech or Language Impairment—Comprehension
Comprehension Difficulties
On average, students with a prior SLI diagnosed, coupled with language comprehension difficulties, who received Visualizing and Verbalizing instruction achieved significant improvements in comprehension. They made large (statistically significant) standard score changes on two of the three measures. Additionally, the 17-point percentile increase in Comprehension put these students within the normal range (25th–75th percentile).
