Abstract
The first treatment efficacy decision that faces the clinician is deciding when a child with language impairments can benefit from intervention. This article reviews the critical issues that influence this decision and recommends a data-based approach to answering the question. Three procedures (profiling, dynamic assessment, and tracking/monitoring) are recommended as the tools for helping speech-language pathologists make informed decisions about when children might best benefit from intervention.Keywords
