Abstract

Purpose: While many examples of speech pathology intervention approaches for children with speech sound disorders (SSDs) exist in English and some other European languages, approaches with children in other languages are largely unknown. The aim was to determine current speech-language pathologists (SLPs) intervention practices with children with SSDs in the ME, and to then compare these with international practices.

Methods: Data were collected by online questionnaire using Qualtrics. One hundred and eighty-nine SLPs completed the survey. Participants were required to be Arabic first language speaking SLPs practicing in the ME (e.g. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt), working with children with SSDs.

Results: The respondents reported a frequent use of phonological awareness, traditional articulation therapy, auditory discrimination, minimal pairs, and whole language therapy approaches in the treatment of children with SSDs, like their counterparts in Australia, the USA, UK, and Portugal. Gaps between research recommendations for evidence-based practice and actual clinical practice are identified, and discussed.

Conclusions: Future research should investigate the efficacy of speech-therapy approaches to improve service delivery for Arabic-speaking children with SSDs in the ME.

语言病理学家对中东地区有语音障碍的儿童进行干预的调查。

目的:虽然在英语和其他一些欧洲语言中存在许多言语病理学干预方法，但对其他语言儿童的干预方法在很大程度上是未知的。目的是确定当前言语语言病理学家(slp)对ME中患有ssd的儿童的干预做法，然后将其与国际惯例进行比较。方法:采用在线问卷调查法收集资料。189名slp完成了调查。参与者必须是在中东地区(如科威特、沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋和埃及)以阿拉伯语为母语的特殊语言教师，与患有ssd的儿童一起工作。结果:受访者报告在治疗ssd儿童时经常使用语音意识、传统发音治疗、听觉辨别、最小配对和整体语言治疗方法，与澳大利亚、美国、英国和葡萄牙的同行一样。研究建议的循证实践和实际临床实践之间的差距被确定，并讨论。结论:未来的研究应探讨语言治疗方法在改善ME中患有ssd的阿拉伯语儿童的服务提供方面的效果。
