What is MISLToe SSD?
The MISLToe_SSD research project aims to improve how Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs)
collect and use information when working with children who have a Speech Sound Disorder (SSD).
This project consists of 3 phases
Clinical experts, academics and parents of children with SSD agreed on:
- A set of assessments for SLTs to diagnose SSD
- A list of speech and language therapy interventions that SLTs might use
- A Core Outcome Set (COS) which is a standardised list of outcomes to be measured before and after therapy
This is a feasibility study exploring barriers and enablers to the collection of data on the MISLToe_SSD COS within speech and language therapy services across the UK. The study is being currently implemented in Wales and England.
