Abstract:

Objective: This randomized controlled trial examined whether the quantity and quality of maternal language input were increased through the 3Ts Home Visiting (3Ts-HV) intervention early in toddlerhood and whether increases in maternal language input were sustained over time among families of low SES, controlling for maternal education level, language skill, depressive symptoms, family adversity, child age, child language skills, and the length of recording.
