Language and social abilities of children were assessed using multiple scales at initial and follow-up visits after participating in 2-SST program. Receptive and expressive language were measured using the Preschool Receptive-Expressive Language Scale and the Receptive-Expressive Vocabulary Test, while social abilities were assessed with the Social Maturity Scale.Results: Participants in the 2-SST showed significant improvements in all categories of receptive\/ expressive language and social abilities. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that the same diagnosis and baseline receptive language ability difference and intellectual ability difference from paired-child were powerful predictors of improvement in receptive language ability. Younger age (\u22645 years) was a powerful predictor of improvement in expressive language ability. Older age (&gt;5 years) was an independent predictor of improvement in social ability.Conclusion: The 2-SST can be an appropriate delivery model to improve language and social skills with advantages of both individual and group speech therapy. For maximal therapeutic gains of 2-SST, same diagnosis, similar language and cognitive level with paired-child, and age should be considered depending on the more specific goals of treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5535\/arm.250123","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,31]],"date-time":"2025-12-31T01:24:58Z","timestamp":1767144298000},"page":"392-399","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5535\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects
