Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Saab et al determining factors that would facilitate engagement with speech and language services for children of adolescent mothers and exploring alternative delivery models for this service is presented. Survey data (n=13) revealed significant barriers to engagement with community-based speech and language services. When asked about preferred delivery models for speech and language services, focus groups participants (n=8) indicated that they were most interested in attending group sessions offered within the Teen-Tot clinic by a speech and language professional.
