Parenting children with developmental language disorder in the days of COVID‐19 in Turkey: Expectations and possibilities
What is already known on the subject During COVID-19, parents of children with developmental language disorders who were undergoing therapy experienced adverse effects. They struggled to assist their children with communication issues and were unable to seek services. What this paper adds to existing knowledge If their children are unable to receive language and speech therapy, parents may attempt to resolve the issue on their own. It is a difficult scenario for both parents and children. To support families in this situation, alternatives ought to be sought. What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work? It is possible to make improvements to current procedures and carry out research to inform families on what to do when they are left alone with their children. Future telepractice research will benefit from the development of useful tools and insightful investigations.
