Furthermore, the TALK program's approach encourages educators to engage in continuous learning and adaptation of their teaching practices. By embracing the principles outlined in the research, practitioners can foster a more inclusive, supportive, and effective learning environment for their students.

In conclusion, the TALK program represents a pivotal shift in special education language teaching, one that acknowledges the unique needs of developmentally delayed children and offers practical, research-backed strategies for enhancing their language acquisition journey. As educators, embracing this approach can be a transformative step towards unlocking the full potential of our students, empowering them to communicate more effectively and confidently navigate their world.
