(2017) Research in clinical pragmatics, Dordrecht, Springer.
This chapter reviews assessments that examine pragmatic behaviors and skills in children, as well as intervention procedures that can be used to facilitate change in pragmatic abilities. Several formal and informal assessment tools exist but very few address more than one pragmatic component. A review of intervention procedures reveals that most of the procedures reported in the literature have the capacity to effect change in pragmatic behaviors. However, many of the intervention studies have been conducted with small numbers of participants, and have a low level of evidence or controls. The chapter concludes with suggested future research topics.
