Welcome to #ImplementationThursdays!!! I'd like to dedicate this week's thread to parents/caregivers and their important role in any implementation effort. #ImpSci #DevLangDis #Dyslexia #ELAchat #SLPeeps
Lately, I've been reading a lot about parents/caregivers' perspectives of their children's communication disorders and their experiences around them.
For example, De Lopez, @Renagalway, et al. asked parents how they made sense of their children's speech and language disorders and how they described them across 10 countries

Welcome to #ImplementationThursdays!!! Last week, we discussed a bit about what #ImpSci is and what it can do to improve uptake of #EBP. This week, I want to focus on implementation strategies - things that you do to change something in your context and facilitate implementation.
Usually, when you do #ImpSci work, you begin by examining what in your target context influences implementation and whether it is acting as a barrier or a facilitator. Identifying barriers to implementation is important because these are the things that you want to change.
And the way to change them, eliminate them, is by using implementation strategies: strategies that address barriers and enhance the adoption of a particular program. Here is a nice summary by @ImpSciUW

Welcome to #ImplementationThursdays!!! This week, instead of reviewing an article, I decided to introduce implementation science and compile useful resources for anyone who might be interested. Here we go! #ELAchat #ImpSci #DevLangDis #Dyslexia
Let's start with the problem. The problem is that high-quality, evidence-based programs do not always end up in routine practice like schools. For example, a review showed that it takes on average 17 years for only 14% of research to be integrated into practice.
17 YEARS AND ONLY 14%! This means that programs that we know work are not used in routine practice and do not benefit those who need them. This means that our children with #DevLangDis and #Dyslexia for example do not receive high-quality services.
