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延迟。但是，由于新冠肺炎疫情，等待治疗的儿童名单很长，加上言语和语言治疗人员短缺，这意味着成千上万的儿童在需要帮助时得不到帮助。在贫困儿童中，包括那些需要照顾/照顾的儿童，言语问题尤其严重。与许多其他情况一样，早期干预是解决沟通障碍的关键，儿童语音实验室通过数字技术来推动这一进程。我们的远程筛查和支持解决方案被英国的NHS提供者用作补充当前护理途径的一种方式，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。然而，我们知道，家庭可能很难在忙碌的生活中适应另一件事，我们需要开发出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，孩子们就越不可能受到言语、语言和沟通延迟的长期影响。在这个项目中，我们希望深入了解我们如何提供一个数字化的护理模式和以家庭/学校为基础的策略，以适应家庭的生活。特别是那些生活在贫困中，英语不是他们的第一语言的人。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什么。我们将为如何在家支持家庭提供原型方法，并收集有关这些方法的实用性和现实性的反馈。该项目将汇集言语和语言治疗师、各种情况下的家庭、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支持家庭，并确保所有儿童都能尽早获得同样的支持。
