Invitation to participate in thesis research
Yessica Villanueva
My name is Yessica Villanueva and I am a graduate student from the Audiology and Speech-Language Department at the University of Northern Colorado. I met some of you at one of the network's meeting last year.
I am reaching out to you all as I am currently conducting my research study on current practices of Speech-Language Pathologists when treating bilingual children with speech sound disorders with a focus on childhood apraxia of speech. As this is a very important topic within our field and limited research has been done to explore current intervention techniques for developing bilingual children diagnosed with or suspected of childhood apraxia of speech, I would like to invite you to participate in this study.
This study involves completion of one anonymous online survey regarding current practices of SLPs primarily delivering services to bilingual children with childhood apraxia of speech, however if you provide services to children with a wide variety of speech sound disorders you are also welcome to participate in this study! All personal identifying information will be excluded from this research. Please note that participation is voluntary, and you may choose to discontinue at any time in the process. For your time, you will have the opportunity to choose to enroll in a raffle for one of three $25 Amazon gift cards following completion of the survey.
If you are interested in participating, please click on the link below to review the consent form prior to beginning the survey. I would also like to encourage everyone to share this invitation email to any of your colleagues who are not part of the network and might work with our target population.
If you have any questions regarding this research, you can contact me via email (vill...@bears.unco.edu) or phone (910-644-3835).
