•Inclusion Criteria: Group Speech-Language Therapy [n=17] -Children in the General Medical Ward; aged 4-36 months; no diagnosed global developmental delay. Individual Speech-Language Therapy [n=17] - Children in the Surgical and Infectious Diseases Wards aged 4-36 months; no diagnosed global developmental delay. Due to bed configuration and the risk of infection from children on alternative wards it is not appropriate to individually allocate children to treatments groups via randomisation. Children who can mix freely on general medical wards will be assigned to group intervention.

•Children admitted for a short stay (e.g. less than 5 months, shorter than the treatment period); patients for whom English is not their primary language (e.g. assessments are only validated for children for whom English is their primary language). Children with global developmental delay, or acquired brain injury, neurological impairment, hearing impairment, visual impairment, seizures, genetic syndrome with associated cognitive impairment.
