N2 - Purpose: The purpose of this tutorial is to provide clinicians with a theoretically motivated and evidencebased approach to teaching adjectives to children who struggle with word learning. Method: Given that there are almost no treatment studies to guide this topic, we have synthesized findings from experimental and theoretical literature to come up with a principles-based approach to treatment. Results: We provide a sample lesson plan, incorporating our 3 theoretical principles, and describe the materials chosen and methods used during treatment and assessment. Conclusion: This approach is theoretically motivated, but it needs to be empirically tested.
