Authors Roberts, Kaiser, Wolfe, Bryant, and Spidalieri conducted a study in 2014 using the Teach-Model-Coach-Review approach to provide caregivers with four methods to stimulate language in children with language impairment. As a baseline, the authors investigated how children between the ages of 24 and 48 months communicated with their caregivers.

This study seems to raise some hope for children with language impairment. These could speed up language acquisition and communication. This helps us understand what to do next with PF because teaching caregivers to use these strategies proved beneficial for the children in this study. Perhaps this could generalize to a more structured setting such as a clinic, and speech language pathologists could use the EMT technique during therapy. If these techniques are present in both the home and school settings, her language will benefit
