Psychosocial Barriers to Completion of Speech Home Exercise Programs
What is it about?
This study looks at psychosocial barriers contributing to incompletion of speech home exercise programs (HEPs) for individuals with cleft and craniofacial conditions. This study assesses the barriers involved in neglecting implementation of speech HEPs within this population.
Why is it important?
Currently, minimal research exists in identifying and understanding the hindrances to consistently practicing HEPs outside these designated speech therapy sessions. SLPs often find families grappling with challenges impeding completion of HEPs and ultimately assuming the role of counselors to seek viable solutions to ensure compliance.
