Prevalence and natural history of primary speech and language delay: findings from a systematic review of the literature.
TLDR
The prevalence and the natural history of primaryspeech and language delays were two of four domains covered in a systematic review of the literature related to screening for speech and language delay carried out for the NHS in the UK and suggest that both concurrent and predictive case definition can be problematic.

The Social Communication Intervention Project: a randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of speech and language therapy for school-age children who have pragmatic and social communication…
TLDR
