Wie wirksam ist Sprachtherapie?

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1026/0942-5403.18.4.213

Es wird ein Überblick über Evaluationsstudien zur Sprachtherapie gegeben. Obwohl die Aussagefähigkeit vieler Therapiestudien durch methodische Mängel begrenzt ist, kann als ausreichend gesichert gelten, dass sich die sprachlichen Fähigkeiten eines Kindes durch eine logopädische Behandlung auf den meisten Sprachebenen zumindest kurzfristig verbessern lassen. Am ausgeprägtesten sind Behandlungserfolge hinsichtlich der Lautbildungsfähigkeit und des aktiven Wortschatzes. Weniger deutlich sind die Effekte in Bezug auf grammatische Fähigkeiten und die sprachliche Kompetenz bei komplexeren Anforderungen, (z. B. beim Erzählen). Ob auch Kinder mit ausgeprägten Sprachverständnisstörungen von einer Therapie profitieren, ist noch ungeklärt.


How effective is speech and language therapy?

The paper reviews studies on the efficacy of speech and language therapy. Even though the validity of numerous studies is limited due to methodological problems, there is sufficient evidence that speech and language therapy has positive short-term effects on the language skills of children on most linguistic dimensions. Pronounced improvement has been proven with respect to phonological skills and expressive vocabulary. There is mixed evidence concerning the effects of interventions on grammar production and language competence such as narrative skills. Previous studies have not proven the efficacy of language intervention in children with severe receptive language impairments.
