As promised, below you can find a partial compilation of studies of
language intervention. I also recommend a visit to www.bamford-lahey.org
where language intervention studies are also listed.

Special thanks to Diane Pesco, Elaine Silliman, Johanne Paradis, Heather
van der Lely, and Ray Weitzman.

M. N. Hegde's text Treatment Procedures in Communicative Disorders and his
Treatment Protocols in Communicative Disorders, as well as other works he
has written.

There is a more recent meta-analysis of speech and language interventions
by Law, Garrett, & Nye (2003) available on-line from The Cochrane Library
at http://www.thecochranelibrary.com . The included studies appear to
involve primarily monolingual English speaking children.

others writing on evidence-based practice:
