Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine the views of parents of children with developmental language disorder (DLD) on the therapy process of their children.
Method: For this purpose, 14 families whose children with DLD were interviewed and various questions were asked about the therapy process and their opinions were obtained. The data obtained in the study were analysed using the phenomenology method.
Results: The parents stated that DLD negatively affected their lives and that they sometimes blamed themselves for this situation. It was observed that parents recognised speech and language difficulties in their children as early as 6 months and as late as 4 years of age. While some of the parents reported that they attended the sessions one-to-one, all of them stated that they met with their therapists after the session and received information about the course of the therapy. The parents stated that the therapists generally adopted a play and interaction-based therapy approach and that this method contributed to the child's progress. The parents stated that the therapist's advice to be interested in the topics that their children were interested in and to make sentences about these topics was very useful.
Conclusions and Recommendations: As a result of the study, it was determined that parents were satisfied with the therapies, found the assignments and advice given by the therapists useful, learnt how to interact with their children, and were satisfied with the communication they established with their therapists. It is recommended that a study involving a larger number of participants be conducted to determine the most beneficial therapy dynamics for families and children.

ÇOCUKLARINDA GELİŞİMSEL DİL BOZUKLUĞU OLAN AİLELERİN TERAPİ SÜRECİ HAKKINDA GÖRÜŞLERİNİN ALINMASI

Öz

Amaç: Bu araştırmada, gelişimsel dil bozukluğuna (GDB) sahip çocukların ebeveynlerinin, çocuklarının terapi sürecine ilişkin görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Bu amaç doğrultusunda çocuğu GDB olan 14 aileyle görüşme yapılarak terapi süreci hakkında çeşitli sorular yöneltilmiş ve görüşleri alınmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler, fenomenoloji yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Ebeveynler GDB’nin çocuklarının ve kendilerinin yaşamlarını olumsuz etkilediğini, bu durumdan ötürü zaman zaman kendilerini suçladıklarını ifade etmişlerdir. Ebeveynlerin çocuklarındaki dil ve konuşma güçlüğünü 6 ay gibi erken bir dönem ile 4 yaş gibi görece daha geç bir dönemde fark ettikleri görülmüştür. Ebeveynlerin bir kısmı seanslara birebir katılım sağladığını bildirirken, tümü seans sonrasında terapistleri ile görüşerek terapinin seyri hakkında bilgi aldıklarını ifade etmiştir. Aileler, terapistlerin genellikle oyun ve etkileşim temelli bir terapi yaklaşımı benimsediğini ve bu yöntemin çocuğun ilerlemesine katkıda bulunduğunu söylemiştir. Aileler, çocuklarının ilgilendiği konularla ilgilenme ve bu konular hakkında cümle kurmaya yönelik verilen terapist tavsiyesinin oldukça faydalı olduğunu söylemiştir.
Sonuçlar ve Öneriler: Araştırmanın sonucunda ebeveynlerin çocuklarının aldıkları terapilerden memnun kaldıkları, terapistlerin verdiği ödevleri ve tavsiyeleri faydalı buldukları, çocuklarıyla nasıl etkileşime geçeceklerini öğrendikleri, terapistleri ile kurdukları iletişimden memnun oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Daha fazla sayıda katılımcıyı içeren bir çalışma ile aileler ve çocuklar için en faydalı olan terapi dinamiklerinin belirlenmesi önerilmektedir.
