Assignment Task: Simplify the results: He first study aim was to identify the proportion of children who entered the early intervention programs with minimal verbal language and then went on to develop phrase level speech at the outcome assessment. Assessments were on average approximately 7 months apart (less than anticipated 9-month follow-up period) due to some children enrolling in programs later in the year (M = 222.4 days, SD = 27.55, range 144-300 days). Figure 1 presents the expected phase level (based on chronological age) and assessed phase level for all 73 children who enrolled in the study. Only one of these children (1.4%) was at age level expectations at Time 1, consistent with recruitment focusing on children with minimal spoken language, and only 2 out of 67 (3.0%; 6 children were not recorded at T2) were at age level expectations at Time 2. In descriptive terms, of the 67 children for whom data were available at both time points, 55 children (82%) maintained their phase level while 9 children (13%) showed improvement, and 3 children (4%) were assessed to have regressed with respect to phase level.
