This study explores the perceived role and clinical preparedness of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in the area of sign language pathologies diagnosed and treated in d/Deaf individuals.
A cross-sectional online survey was developed and completed by practicing SLPs in the United States. The survey included four sections: (a) participant characteristics; (b) personal experience, clinical training, and background; (c) awareness, attitudes, and self-assessment; and (d) qualitative considerations. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, and open-ended response data were examined via thematic content analysis.
