언어재활사의 ADHD 아동에 대한 언어 및 의사소통 지원 실태에 관한 인식: 질적 분석 = The Perception of Speech-Language Pathologist Regarding Language and Communication Support Conditions in Children With ADHD : A Qualitative Analysis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was conducted to investigate speech-language pathologists’ perceptions of children with ADHD and the current state of communication support provided to them. To this end, two focus group interviews were conducted, each with one session, involving a total of seven speech-language pathologists. The research results classified language and communication characteristics based on the experiences of children with ADHD speech disorders, language disorders, and literacy. Difficulties in speech therapy for children with ADHD were categorized into limitations in the role of SLPs, difficulties in implementing therapeutic interventions, difficulties in counselling, and the psychological characteristics of children with ADHD. Areas of focus in speech therapy for children with ADHD were classified into strategies and material modifications to maintain attention, literacy intervention, pragmatic language intervention, and medication use. Finally, the role of SLPs within and outside the therapy settings was categorized into education⋅counselling and collaboration. Based on these findings, the study discusses SLPs’ perceptions of communication support for children with ADHD and offers suggestions. These insights are expected to contribute to the advancement of language therapy practices for children with ADHD and inform future research.
