One in five children typically experiences some form of speech and language delay in early childhood. But long waiting lists, exacerbated by Covid, and a shortage of speech and language therapy (SLT) staff, means that many thousands of children are not receiving help when they need it. Speech problems are particularly acute among children experiencing poverty, including those in care/looked after.Like many other conditions, early intervention is key to addressing communication delays, and Kids Speech Labs are driving this is through digital technologies. Our remote screening and support solution is in use by NHS providers in the UK as a way of supplementing the current care pathway and delivering early screening and home-based intervention support while waiting for clinical appointments. It's well known that that children will respond faster to clinical intervention when supplemented by effective home-based intervention strategies.However we know that families can struggle to fit another thing into busy lives and we need to develop solutions that can meet the needs of families. The easier we make it to implement home-based engagement the less likely children are to have longer term impacts from speech, language and communication delays.In this project we want to do a deep dive into understanding how we can deliver a digital model of care and home/schools based strategies that can fit into the lives of families. Particularly those living in poverty and where English is not their first language. We will carry out workshops with families from our NSH partners to understand their experiences, needs and what they would like to see. We will prototype approaches to how we can support families at home and gather feedback on how useful, realistic they are.The project will bring together Speech and language therapists, families from a range of situations, digital health solution developers and user reserach experts to fundamentally rethink how we can support families and ensure all children can have the same access to supports at the earliest opportunity

五分之一的儿童在幼儿期通常会经历某种形式的言语和语言发育迟缓。但新冠疫情加剧了等待名单过长，而且言语和语言治疗 (SLT) 人员短缺，这意味着成千上万的儿童在需要时得不到帮助。言语问题在贫困儿童中尤其严重，包括那些受到照顾/照顾的儿童。与许多其他情况一样，早期干预是解决沟通延迟的关键，儿童言语实验室正在通过数字技术推动这一目标。英国的 NHS 提供商正在使用我们的远程筛查和支持解决方案作为当前护理途径的补充，并在等待临床预约时提供早期筛查和家庭干预支持。众所周知，如果辅以有效的家庭干预策略，儿童对临床干预的反应会更快。但是我们知道，家庭可能很难在忙碌的生活中融入另一件事，我们需要开发能够满足家庭需求的解决方案。我们越容易实施以家庭为基础的参与，儿童受到言语、语言和沟通延迟的长期影响的可能性就越小。在这个项目中，我们希望深入了解如何提供适合家庭生活的数字护理模型和基于家庭/学校的策略。特别是那些生活在贫困中且英语不是他们的母语的人。我们将与 NSH 合作伙伴的家庭举办研讨会，以了解他们的经历、需求以及他们希望看到的内容。我们将制定如何为家庭提供支持的方法原型，并收集有关其有用性和现实性的反馈。该项目将汇集言语和语言治疗师、来自各种情况的家庭、数字健康解决方案开发人员和用户研究专家，从根本上重新思考我们如何为家庭提供支持，并确保所有儿童都能尽早获得相同的支持
