Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the parent perception of their typically developing children¡¯s language development and language therapy.
Methods: A questionnaire was developed to examine the parent perception of their typically developing children¡¯s language development and language problems, and of speech-language therapy. One hundred and ninety-two parents of children in early childhood participated in the survey.
Results: First, results indicated that parents perceived that language development was most important among early childhood developmental domains and interaction with caregivers was the most effective way to promote their children¡¯s language development. Second, although most parents have heard of the term ¡®speech-language therapy¡¯, their perception of detailed intervention areas in speech-language therapy is not relatively high. Third, they perceived that speech-language therapy was most needed when children¡¯s language development was delayed and the communication breakdown occurs.
Conclusion: The study results need to be considered to develop parent education program in speech-language pathology areas for accurate information on language development and language problems in early childhood and on how to use the speech-language therapy services.
