'Why Aren't We Fighting Our Case?': Speech and Language Therapists' Perspectives on Intervention for Preschool Children With Oral Comprehension Difficulties.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oral comprehension difficulties are prevalent amongst preschool children with language needs and are related to academic, social and emotional outcomes. Speech and language therapists (SLTs) frequently deliver comprehension intervention to preschool children, but the influences on their clinical decisions are unknown. Understanding these influences and how chosen interventions align with models of evidence-based practice (EBP), particularly in an area where research evidence is sparse, is crucial to developing effective intervention and supporting the implementation of research to practice.

Aims

To investigate SLTs' perspectives on the delivery of intervention to preschool children with oral comprehension difficulties and to examine these in the context of models
