Abstract
PURPOSE
Caregivers of children with developmental language disorder (DLD) face numerous challenges, including limited evidence-backed options for learning about oral language and DLD. This explanatory sequential, mixed-methods study quantified and described caregiver perceptions of learning about DLD through an online asynchronous training.
METHOD
We used quantitative methods to measure self-perceived knowledge of DLD as well as self-efficacy for supporting the child before and after participation in the training. We also measured usability and overall satisfaction with the training. We conducted 1:1 structured interviews with a subset of participants and used an inductive approach to thematic analysis to explain and expand upon quantitative results.
RESULTS
Caregivers reported higher knowledge and self-efficacy related to DLD after completing the training. Usability and satisfaction ratings were high. Qualitative data provided nuanced explanation of quantitative findings, indicating that the training can increase caregiver knowledge and self-efficacy and can positively impact interactions, support, and understanding of the child. We also found that while caregivers find learning about DLD helpful, they also seek additional information and support related to their own child.
CONCLUSION
Online asynchronous learning is a useful, satisfactory means by which to disseminate information about DLD to caregivers.
期刊介绍:
Mission: LSHSS publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles pertaining to the practice of audiology and speech-language pathology in the schools, focusing on children and adolescents. The journal is an international outlet for clinical research and is designed to promote development and analysis of approaches concerning the delivery of services to the school-aged population. LSHSS seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work.
Scope: The broad field of audiology and speech-language pathology as practiced in schools, including aural rehabilitation; augmentative and alternative communication; childhood apraxia of speech; classroom acoustics; cognitive impairment; craniofacial disorders; fluency disorders; hearing-assistive technology; language disorders; literacy disorders including reading, writing, and spelling; motor speech disorders; speech sound disorders; swallowing, dysphagia, and feeding disorders; voice disorders.
