Our mission and vision

Our aim is to establish a research agenda in collaborative practice with parents and to take this agenda forward. We believe that this research agenda should have a strong practical/clinical focus to support practitioners to reflect and think creatively about how to work with parents. 

To achieve our goals, we are currently engaged in three work-streams: 

• Mapping the field with regard to research on working with parents in different contexts internationally 
• Developing guidelines for teaching and learning methods that we can use to prepare speech and language therapists in training to work collaboratively with parents
• Exploring ways of engaging parents in research
