Implication

Randomised control trial shows morphological intervention improves affix understanding in adolescents with language disorder, suggesting potential for broader vocabulary gains.

Key Points

Intervention group improved understanding of taught affixes significantly more than controls.
Participants showed progress in novel word comprehension with taught affixes during the adapted rehit task.
Twice-weekly sessions led by a speech-language pathologist were conducted over 8 weeks.
Although the intervention was effective, improvements did not generalise to untaught affixes.
