LanguageLinks: Syntax Assessment and Intervention
Available in Australia and New Zealand now.
Powerful, innovative, effective!
Do you want your students to master syntax and become better communicators? LanguageLinks is an all-new, comprehensive, evidence-based approach to syntax assessment and intervention. In a recent study, LanguageLinks was proven to be a highly effective way to help children acquire language.
LanguageLinks is a new, comprehensive, easy-to-use software series designed to help children with language impairments become better communicators. LanguageLinks takes children from the early two-word development stage through the mastery of a broad range of syntactic forms. Six levels train over 75 essential grammatical forms in developmental order.
The programs also improve expressive language abilities and include over 750 stimulus pictures.
Optimised Intervention® Ensures Success!
LanguageLinks features Optimised Intervention®, a powerful, innovative system that tailors instructional delivery to each student’s unique needs. The software begins with an assessment to determine where to start training. Then the program tracks detailed information about a student’s performance and automatically guides the student through the curriculum.
Reinforcement animations are not only entertaining, but also include enriched language which has been shown to facilitate language development. At the end of each lesson, you’ll be able to quickly review your students’ performance and print comprehensive reports to ensure accountability.
In addition LanguageLinks also has features built into all of Laureate® Sterling Edition™ software.

Independent Language Learning
LanguageLinks is designed to be used independently, so students can benefit from language instruction in their own classrooms five days a week. Your students will not only meet their language goals more quickly, they will become self-directed language learners and better communicators.
Who Will Benefit from LanguageLinks?
- Children with Autism will learn over 75 grammatical forms using over 750 stimuli in a highly-structured, non-distracting environment.
- Children with Specific Language Impairments will learn the grammatical forms they need to achieve school success in the areas of reading and writing.
- Children with Down Syndrome can benefit from syntax intervention throughout childhood. LanguageLinks will help them meet their IEP goals and objectives more effectively.

“During the field-testing of LanguageLinks, we not only saw significant gains in communication competence, but the students loved using the software!”
“It has been a marvellous task to help Laureate solve the problem of designing the best sequence of intervention, in light of research on both child language and linguistic theory.”
