Exploring parent perspectives on speech intervention for children with cerebral palsy.
10:30 AM - 10:45 AMPresentation summary
The objective of the study was to investigate parent/guardian perspectives, with a focus on their level of interest in their child receiving speech intervention and their preferences and expectations for therapy.
An online survey was conducted, recruiting parents of children with cerebral palsy who have associated speech difficulties, including dysarthria and childhood apraxia of speech. The study employed a mixed-method approach, combining a quantitative descriptive study with a qualitative Grounded Theory study.
The results reveal parents’ level of satisfaction with current practice and provide critical insights into what they hope to gain from future speech intervention.
In essence, the findings amplify parent voices to guide future research into treatment programs that resonate with their expressed needs and expectations. Understanding their preferences is a crucial step toward enhancing the strength of client engagement and the effectiveness of speech pathology services.
Key messages
1. What services children with cerebral palsy currently receive from speech pathologist.
2. How satisfied parents are with the current practice.
3. What parents would like to gain from future speech intervention.
