Treatment Outcomes for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Early Intervention Populations

American Speech-Language-Hearing Association

Research indicates that close to half of infants, toddlers and preschool children enrolled in early intervention programs funded by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act have a communication disorder. In addition, a substantial number of children, particularly in the infant and toddler population, are from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Audiologists and speech-language pathologists are charged with providing culturally-competent, evidence-based services to all clients. Given the federal, state, and local demand for accountability in practices, clinicians need guidance on treatment outcomes pertaining to the culturally and linguistically diverse early intervention populations with communication disorders.
