There is no single approach to intervention in children with developmental language disorders. Remedial approaches differ in that they are based on differing theoretical perspectives. Four theoretical frames are reviewed. Neuropsychologically driven remediation, which tailors intervention to a child's profile of cognitive and linguistic strengths and weakness, is emphasized. Concrete examples of compensatory techniques suited to specific profiles are presented.
