"Tell Me About Your Child": A Grounded Theory Study of Mothers' Understanding of Language Disorder.

Conclusions Two theories were generated from the results: (a) Lack of information provided to mothers about their child's language disorder causes mothers psychological harm that appears to be long lasting. (b) Difficulties in successfully relaying information about language disorders to parents result in negative perceptions of speech-language pathology. Implications and future directions are discussed. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.12177390. PMID: 32348158 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
