Communication Across the School Day: A Nationwide Teacher Survey on Developmental Language Disorder.
Purpose: The purpose of this mixed methods study was to investigate how teachers in the United States understand and perceive developmental language disorder (DLD). This study used a survey to examine teachers' understanding of DLD and the impact of DLD at school to inform advocacy efforts within the discipline of communication sciences and disorders (CSD) and collaborations between speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and teachers.
Method: The survey was administered online via Qualtrics and consisted of 27 closed-response questions (i.e., Likert scale or multiple-choice) and four open-response questions. We analyzed the closed-response questions using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. The open-response questions were analyzed using a summative content analysis.
Results: Two hundred four responses were included in the analysis. Survey respondents successfully identified language-based activities that would be difficult for children with DLD, such as participating in conversations. Many respondents were not familiar with the term DLD nor the lifelong nature of the disorder. Respondents' self-rated ability to recognize students with DLD, determine the educational impact of DLD, and use classroom accommodations varied based on type of teaching role, grade taught, and previous training in language disorders. Content analysis of open responses revealed four categories capturing respondents' descriptions of DLD: social impact, communication, school environment, and teacher insight. Many respondents felt uncertain about characteristics of DLD and its impact across the school day.
Conclusions: Although many survey respondents were unfamiliar with the term DLD and associated diagnostic criteria, they accurately identified many tasks that would be difficult for students with DLD on both closed-response and open-response questions. Practical implications for SLPs and future directions for CSD researchers are provided to improve DLD awareness efforts and to establish shared terminology about language impairment among CSD researchers, practicing SLPs, and educators.
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.
