Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In the intervention group, the abilities in language reception and production, communicative participation and the skills in playing and individuation development are recorded at three measurement times. T1 represents the beginning of the intervention, T2 the end of the intervention and T3 the check-up,approximately three-months after the end of the treatment. In the waiting control group, the survey extends to four measurement times. In this group, T1 is the clarification, which is followed by a waiting phase of about three months before the therapy starts. In this group, T2 represents the start of the intervention, T3 the end of the intervention and T4 the check-up after a three-month therapy break. In order to record the changes in language skills at the different measurement times, the SETK-2 (Grimm 2016) resp. the SETK 3-5 (Grimm et al. 2015) is used. The parent questionnaire FOCUS©-34-G (Neumann et al. 2018) is applied to record communicative participation. Competences in play and individuation development are recorded using the “Entwicklungsprofil” (Zollinger 2015). The primary aim is to compare the progress made by the intervention group during the treatment with the progress made by the waiting control group during the waiting phase. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondarily, it is examined whether the abilities in speech production, speech reception, communicative participation, play development and individuation development are higher at the end of the intervention than at the beginning of the intervention, regardless of the group assignment. It is also researched in both groups whether the skills in the areas mentioned are higher at the end of the consolidation phase than at the beginning of the consolidation phase. | — |
