Word finding difficulties can be described as poor ability to retrieve known words on demand for labeling or conversation.  Although we all experience word retrieval challenges at times, which is expected, when it is clinically diagnosed in children, it can be a stand-alone deficit or a piece of a more global speech-language impairment that impacts academic and social functioning. In today's episode, we will take a look at research-based interventions to support the development of word-finding skills using the article, Intervention for children with word-finding difficulties: a parallel group randomized control trial by Best, Hughes, Masterson, Thomas, Fedor, Roncoli, Fern-Pollack, Shepherd, Howard, Shobbrook and Kapikan, published in the International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology.
