First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether speech-language teletherapy can improve language outcomes in deaf or hard-of-hearing children aged 0-27 months. Researchers enrolled 210 children, some publicly insured and some privately insured, and gave some access to an 18-month teletherapy program. The goal was to see if teletherapy could help address language disparities.
