3. EI SLP Delphi Study

Are you a speech-language pathologist with experience providing early intervention services to young children with cerebral palsy?

We’re inviting experienced SLPs to participate in a Delphi Study aiming to identify expert-informed best practices for supporting early communication development in this group of children.

What’s involved?

• Participate in several rounds of information gathering over the next year including:
• A brief one-to-one interview (30-45 mins)
• Subsequent rounds of surveys (approximately 3-4, 15-20 mins each)

Who can participate?

• Licensed or credentialed speech-language pathologists
• At least 5 years of experience in early intervention (ages 0-3)
• Experience working with children who are at risk for, or diagnosed with, cerebral palsy

Why participate?

• You get the opportunity to shape recommendations and contribute your clinical expertise to an area with little existing guidance.
• Clinicians will get access to a set of consensus-based best practices to improve communication-focused intervention for young children with complex motor needs.
• Compensation is provided with each round of participation.
• All participants will receive a summary of results.

Interested?

Fill out this brief screening form to continue.
