The WHO-ICF model and evidence-based practice principles, both endorsed by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, lend support to the collection of self-report measures by speech-language pathologists. A survey was created to determine if and how school-based speech-language pathologists currently utilize child and adolescent self-report measures, as well as speech-language pathologists’ attitudes and perceptions regarding the measures. The study surveyed speech-language pathologists who were members of professional organizations. Seven hundred and ninety one school-based speech-language pathologists completed the electronic survey and 54% of participants reported utilizing pediatric self-report measures in current clinical practice. Participants were most likely to employ self-report measures with students who have articulation and fluency disorders. The majority of participants stated that advantages and disadvantages of child and adolescent self-report measures were not addressed in university training. A descriptive summary of the results created a profile of how pediatric self-report measures are used in current school-based practices. |
