Summary

This study uses brain imaging to understand how a computer-based grammar program affects brain connections in preschoolers with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). Researchers will scan children's brains before and after therapy to see changes in memory and language networks. The goal is to learn how the brain supports grammar learning, which could lead to better, more personalized treatments for DLD.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: My Sentence Builder (computer-assisted treatment program for expressive grammar)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could reveal how the brain changes with grammar therapy, helping design more personalized treatments for children with language disorders.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage observational study with no treatment outcome data yet. The brain changes seen may not translate to better language skills, and results may not apply to all children.
