New tablet test aims to spot language problems in young psychiatry patients
NCT ID NCT07283458
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This pilot study will test a tablet-based tool called TICOALA that checks language comprehension and learning in children aged 3 to 7 who visit a child psychiatry service in Paris. Researchers want to see if children, parents, and clinicians find the tool acceptable and if a larger study is possible. The goal is to help identify language difficulties early, since speech therapists are often scarce in these clinics.
