It is very uncertain whether summary of findings: SLT changes expressive language: naming compared with social support and stimulation (very low certainty).
It is very uncertain whether summary of findings: SLT changes expressive language: naming (6 months compared with no SLT (follow‐up at 6 months) (very low certainty).
Summary of findings: SLT showed no clear difference in receptive language: auditory comprehension compared with no SLT (immediate outcome) (low certainty).
