- Describe any differences in specific use of the approach between the two studies you selected.
- Discuss the frequency and duration of treatment provided across the two studies you selected.
- Discuss the main ways that progress or change was measured across the two studies you read. What types of improvements were the researchers hoping to find? Did the researchers use comparisons of specific pre/post diagnostic speech and language tests? Which ones? Was neuroimaging used to make comparisons pre and post?
