Abstract

Background Home practice is an integral component of the therapeutic process for children with speech and language difficulties, facilitating effective collaborative practice between parents and speech and language therapists (SLTs) and increasing the dosage of intervention received. However, numerous challenges have been documented. Understanding how home practice is currently perceived by parents and SLTs may help address these challenges, enhance home practice approaches and strategies, and subsequently optimise therapy outcomes for children. Objective This study aimed to gather views of parents and speech and language therapists on home practice, including how home practice is currently being implemented, its benefits and challenges, and how it could be improved. Method A mixed-methods, cross-sectional, anonymous, online survey was developed and distributed to parents and SLTs via social media. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Results A total of 117 responses were received with a relatively balanced representation between parents (43%) and SLTs (57%). Survey findings suggest that home practice is a valued and common practice within SLT intervention, across countries and settings, that supports a positive parent-SLT alliance. Specific factors to ensure high-quality home practice were identified by participants, in addition to a range of challenges that can frequently impede the benefits of home practice being reaped and warrant attentio…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
