What this trial studies

The study uses the TICOALA tool to quickly measure lexical and syntactic understanding and word learning in children attending a child psychiatry service. It aims to determine acceptability among children, clinicians, and parents, and to assess the feasibility of a larger study. Additional goals include describing the language skills of participating children and exploring how language abilities relate to clinical and background factors. The study is nested in a clinical setting to identify practical use of a tablet-based language assessment as a potential gateway to formal speech-language referrals.
