This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Nuffield Early Language Intervention (NELI) programme in ameliorating language difficulties in the first year of school when delivered at scale. METHODS: We conducted a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) in 193 primary schools (containing 238 Reception classrooms). Schools were randomly allocated to either a 20-week oral language intervention or a business-as-usual control group. All classes (N?=?5,879 children) in participating schools were screened by school staff using an automated App to assess children's oral language skills. Screening identified 1,173 children as eligible for language intervention: schools containing 571 of these children were allocated to the control group and 569 to the intervention group. RESULTS: Children receiving the NELI programme made significantly larger gains than the business-as-usual control group on a latent variable reflecting standardized measures of language ability (d?=?.26) and on the school-administered automated assessment of receptive and expressive language skills (d?=?.32). The effects of intervention did not vary as a function of home language background or gender. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides strong evidence for the effectiveness of a school-based language intervention programme (NELI) delivered at scale. These findings demonstrate that language difficulties can be identified by school-based testing and ameliorated by a TA delivered intervention; this has important implications for educational and social policy.

Evaluation of a parent-delivered early language enrichment programme: evidence from a randomised controlled trial / Kelly BURGOYNE in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 59-5 (May 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 59-5 (May 2018) . - p.545-555 Titre : Evaluation of a parent-delivered early language enrichment programme: evidence from a randomised controlled trial Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kelly BURGOYNE, Auteur ; R.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a parent-delivered early language enrichment programme. METHODS: We conducted a randomised controlled trial (RCT) with 208 preschool children and their parents living in socially diverse areas in the United Kingdom. Families were allocated to an oral language programme (N = 103) or an active control programme targeting motor skills (N = 105). Parents delivered the programmes to their child at home in daily 20-min sessions over 30 weeks of teaching. RESULTS: Children receiving the language programme made significantly larger gains in language (d = .21) and narrative skills (d = .36) than children receiving the motor skills programme at immediate posttest. Effects on language were maintained 6 months later (d = .34), and at this point, the language group also scored higher on tests of early literacy (d values=.35 and .42). There was no evidence that the movement programme improved motor skills. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of a parent-delivered language enrichment programme. Further large-scale evaluations of the programme are needed to confirm and extend these findings.

Further evidence for a parent-of-origin effect at the NOP9 locus on language-related phenotypes / K. A. PETTIGREW in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 8-1 (December 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders > 8-1 (December 2016) . - p.24 Titre : Further evidence for a parent-of-origin effect at the NOP9 locus on language-related phenotypes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : K.

PARACCHINI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.24 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Candidate gene  Dyslexia  Genetic association  Language impairment  Parent-of-origin Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Specific language impairment (SLI) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder, observed in 5-10 % of children. Family and twin studies suggest a strong genetic component, but relatively few candidate genes have been reported to date. A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) described the first statistically significant association specifically for a SLI cohort between a missense variant (rs4280164) in the NOP9 gene and language-related phenotypes under a parent-of-origin model. Replications of these findings are particularly challenging because the availability of parental DNA is required. METHODS: We used two independent family-based cohorts characterised with reading- and language-related traits: a longitudinal cohort (n = 106 informative families) including children with language and reading difficulties and a nuclear family cohort (n = 264 families) selected for dyslexia. RESULTS: We observed association with language-related measures when modelling for parent-of-origin effects at the NOP9 locus in both cohorts: minimum P = 0.001 for phonological awareness with a paternal effect in the first cohort and minimum P = 0.0004 for irregular word reading with a maternal effect in the second cohort. Allelic and parental trends were not consistent when compared to the original study. CONCLUSIONS: A parent-of-origin effect at this locus was detected in both cohorts, albeit with different trends. These findings contribute in interpreting the original GWAS report and support further investigations of the NOP9 locus and its role in language-related traits. A systematic evaluation of parent-of-origin effects in genetic association studies has the potential to reveal novel mechanisms underlying complex traits.
