Discussion about a lack of effect PY - 2018///. N1 - 10 N2 - This study measures the impact of a program designed to support language in day-care on the acquisition of the language skills of children aged over 20 months. 181 children from 4 day-care centers took part in the program and were compared with 113 children from 4 day-care centers that did not take part in the program.
