Insights

Caregiver-led book reading interventions for children with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) significantly increased reading frequency and duration while decreasing screen time. Families reported positive experiences with this approach.

Area of Science:

  • Speech-language pathology
  • Child development
  • Family health

Background:

  • Children with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) often have varied reading and screen time habits.
  • Parental involvement is crucial for early intervention outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess changes in reading and screen time habits in caregivers of children with SLCN before and after an 8-week joint book reading intervention.
  • To explore caregivers' experiences with daily interactive book reading.

Main Methods:

  • A survey-based interview was administered to 135 families before and 107 families after the intervention.
  • The intervention involved recommendations for at least 10 minutes of daily interactive book reading.
  • Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis of free-text comments.

Main Results:

  • Significant increases in daily reading frequency and duration were observed post-intervention.
  • A significant decrease in daily screen time was reported by caregivers.
  • Caregivers reported positive experiences with the daily interactive book reading activity.

Conclusions:

  • A speech-language pathologist (SLP)-managed, caregiver-led book reading intervention is feasible for families of children with SLCN.
  • This intervention may positively impact reading habits, related factors, and screen time.
  • Encouraging joint book reading can be a valuable component of SLCN support.

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

Language Development01:22

Language Development

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Therapeutic Communication01:30

Therapeutic Communication

Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Barriers to Effective Communication II

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...
