A Conceptual Efficacy Replication of the TELL Preschool Curriculum with Web-Based Implementation Support and Professional Development Variations
The purpose of this project is to investigate the efficacy of the Teaching Early Literacy and Language (TELL) curriculum when professional development (PD) support is delivered through a web-based platform with variations on the number of specific PD components. TELL and its associated PD was developed by the research team to address the needs of preschool-aged children with developmental speech and/or language impairment. The initial efficacy trial showed improvements in a variety of langua...

The expanded version of TELL, originally designed for 4-year-old children, extended the curriculum down to age 3. Many children with mild to moderate delays or...

Efficacy of the TELL Curriculum for Preschool Children who are Economically Disadvantaged
The purpose of this study was to determine whether preschool children from low-income families enrolled in classrooms implementing the Teaching Early Literacy and Language (TELL) curriculum demonstrated higher oral language and pre-reading scores at the end of preschool than their peers enrolled in business-as-usual classrooms. TELL is a universal, Tier 1, whole-class curriculum designed to improve school readiness. Results from development and efficacy studies with children who had developm...

Efficacy Trials with a New Early Literacy and Language Curriculum for Preschool Children with Developmental Speech and/or Language Impairment
Eighty-two percent of children receiving special education services demonstrate a developmental speech and/or language impairment (DSLI) either as a primary diagnosis (i.e., DSLI is the sole impairment) or as a condition secondary to another primary diagnosis (e.g., developmental delay, mental retardation). Regardless of the underlying diagnosis, children with DSLI often fail to develop crucial pre-literacy skills, such as oral language skills, which can lead to later literacy difficulties a...

Development of an IFSP Form and Process to Maximize Learning Opportunities for Young Children with Disabilities
Adaptations such as adjusting task materials or using assistive technology expose children with disabilities to a wider range of daily living and educational activities and improve developmental and academic outcomes. Although adaptations are frequently used with older children with disabilities, they are not described on Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) or widely used with infants and toddlers. Early interventionists, service providers, and IFSP development teams need support sys...

The Development and Efficacy of a Curriculum-Based Language and Early Literacy Intervention for Preschool Children with Developmental Disabilities
The purposes of the proposed investigation are to (a) develop a language and early literacy curriculum called Teaching Emergent Literacy and Language across the Curriculum for use with preschool children with developmental disabilities, (b) to evaluate the extent to which the addition of an explicit oral language teaching protocol (EOLT) further enhances children's gains in oral language, pre-reading, and pre-writing skills, and (c) to determine the intensity of intentional instruction requi...
