Australian caregiver’s experiences and needs when their child has Childhood Apraxia of speech: A qualitative study
Australian caregivers found it challenging to navigate services and had variable experiences with speech-language pathologists. They identified needs in funding, information, and social connection. Findings suggest speech-language pathologists should better support families and assess their own competence in treating childhood apraxia of speech.
