NCT ID NCT07233525

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a culturally adapted home program for Arab toddlers in Israel. 240 families with children aged 18-36 months will receive either eight weekly sessions teaching parents how to boost language and problem-solving through play and routines, or eight sessions on general child health. Researchers will measure changes in vocabulary and thinking skills to see if the program works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Culturally adapted parent-implemented home program (behavioural intervention)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a scalable, evidence-based model to improve early language and cognitive development in disadvantaged communities.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage study focused on a specific population, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioural, so effects may be modest and hard to sustain long-term.
