Shared book reading intervention

Shared book reading intervention: The study group participated in a parent training program focusing on shared interactive reading practices and attended nine read-aloud meetings with their children under the supervision of a trained librarian.

Study summary

The goal of this observational retrospective study is to explore the effects of a parent-based book reading intervention on children with neurodevelopmental disorders. The project consisted of interactive lessons for parents and shared reading experiences. It took place between May 2021 and June 2022 in Rome and at the time children were receiving neuropsychomotor and speech therapy sessions based on the developmental profile.

The investigators'primary goal is to investigate lexical quotients of children who participated in the project to explore whether it had an impact on their language development. The secondary goal is to assess shared reading habits.

For both outcome measures, researchers will compare the group who partecipated in the study with a cohort of children with the same characteristics who also attended Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi for rehabilitation purposes.

Patients and their family will not be asked for any further engagement because all data will be taken from medical records.
